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.

Most of have stated that we have -r--------. I think it would be best to let people know just who you are talking to as there are many newbies here. Our 400 setting is better than a 600 is it not?

I think you are speaking to the people with the xxxr--r--, is that not correct?
