After reading some posts today I looked at a lot of RaQs I maintain.
It has come to my attention that newly restored or upgraded RaQ3s and
RaQ4s could have /etc/shadow* files that are world-readable.
Check yours. Fix it:
# chmod 600 /etc/shadow*
If you can't do it yourself, have someone do it for you.
NOW.
Jeff
