Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.40.2-1 Severity: normal Currently (unless my system deviates from everyone else) tune2fs is world-executable: $ ls -l /sbin/tune2fs -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 21432 2007-07-14 23:06 /sbin/tune2fs
I wanted to query whether this is in fact the way we want it. It doesn't bother me personally since I only have my own personal debian machines. But I could imagine it being somewhat disconcerting if I were managing a set of common machines, only to find some random user had, for instance, changed the times for the next automatic filesystem checks by invoking tune2fs -c. I guess the same might apply to the other e2fsprogs utilities in /sbin, which are all world-executable. Is the current state really how it should be?
