I see your point.  Right now the fix restricts write access to the sipxchange 
user only and would have the potential of creating high CPU conditions for any 
Java-based process that is not running is sipxchange.  This is in fact the case 
for our Java-based setup utilities but it's somewhat of a non-issue because of 
their short-lived nature.   

I'm on the fence on that one.  On one hand, there are no non-transient Java 
processes in our system that do not run as sipxchange so there isn't a real 
need today to open the permissions wider than they need to be (how many 
negatives can one pack in a single sentence? :) ).  On the other, if for some 
reason we add in the future a non-transient Java-based process that does not 
run as sipxchange then the high CPU utilization will come back...  Not sure 
what the right trade-off is - anybody?
