    Ummm... What am I missing here? Does it seem _crazy_ to anybody else that
    the permissions on the file containing some of the most sensitive information
    on the system would have read access to all users? This is clearly NOT
    the default on any of the BSD systems (including the one from which IPSO is
    derived) that I am aware of.

    Can anybody else confirm the permissions required to read the file? Can
    anybody else confirm that the /etc/master.passwd file is a+r?

    I would have to call this a vulnerability either way....
