Yeah, really.

Reminds of the "bin owns /etc" security hole.  Since when does someone
need to own a file to move it outta the way?  :-)

That wasn't a bug, just inappropriate ownership :-)

I got loadsa heat about my comment regarding permissions on directories.

Listen you bunch of propellor-heads, before you hassle me to death,
please learn/understand directory permissions, obviously a good number
of us don't !-)
