I'm pretty sure this is an untested, specious argument. If root is mapped to nobody, then it is no longer the owning user of the directory in question, so its access will be governed by the "other" bits -- which are r-x, which should work just fine. > Policy 10.9 recommends directories be mode 755. Yep, the directory perms should be fixed, but not all policy violations are serious bugs.
