Bad permissions (644) on /etc/shadow after editing via

[kgb () RUBIKON NET PL (Krzysztof G. Baranowski)]

First, here is some info:

[root@matador /etc]# rpm -qi control-panel

[root@matador /etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release
release 4.1 (Vanderbilt)

And the bug:

[root@matador /etc]# ls -l /etc/shadow
-rw-------   1 root     root          693 Jun 10 11:19 /etc/shadow

Now I start X, run user and group configuration in control-panel.
I change some data then save and quit.

[root@matador /etc]# ls -l shadow
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          693 Jun 10 11:19 shadow

Best regards,
Kris
