Thanks, all those suggestions help and have been
observed.  

But I still worry about some remote attacker tricking
the firewall into somehow sending or exposing the
contents of the config.xml file.  It kind of feels
like having an /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file where
the password fields are plain text.

Is it not possible to have the webgui account to be a
more limited firewall administrator account, or
something along those lines, using sudo, etc.?

Also, I notice that even after the upgrade to latest
snapshot, my latest /conf/backup/conf*.xml files still
switch to world read permissions, even though my
/conf/config.xml is just rw by owner only.  As a
precaution, I do have permissions on the directories
themselves restricted to 700, but I don't think this
is the default.
