When something is installed by a packaging system, and will be stomped at |
| 10 |
the next upgrade without consideration for local mods, I prefer to install |
| 11 |
with all writable bits off. This is more of a concern for those |
| 12 |
oh-so-easily-tweakable scripts than for binaries, and at least encourages |
| 13 |
the superuser to stop and think before making a change, but especially in |
| 14 |
the suid case the more protection the better. |

Likewise for installed nonexecutables (terminfo and the like), 444 rather |
| 17 |
than 644. |
