Most things should be protected as you'd expect - things in /usr/vice/etc 
should not be modifyable by normal users, but they do need to be able to 
read some of them, and there's not reason to read-protect the rest.  The 
same goes for the various utilities, which Transarc for some inexplicable 
reason reccommends putting in /usr/afsws (I know of no one who actually 
_does_ that).

The major thing to note is that /usr/vice/cache should have mode 0700, so 
that users can't see what's in there.  The cache manager should take care 
of the permissions on the individual cache files by itself.
