So these pem files are just the public CA certificate cert to the private 
cluster.  There's no private key in there.

On further inspection, these PEM files are being copied to the nodes from the 
MASTER node when they are provisioned.

The PEM files aren't owned by any package - I'll assume that they are created 
during the installation of xCAT.

Is it safe to lock these files down to mode 0600?

/install/postscripts/_xcat/ca.pem
/install/postscripts/ca/ca-cert.pem
