My thanks to all of you who responded. You may see some influence in what you see here. What I am trying for is 2-fold. Our server standard, which will be finalized in a couple of weeks, has provisions in there about strict control of world writable areas. I believe that there is risk in the way that some are set up, and in the way people use them. More toward the end of the summer, we will be finalizing an information access and protection standard. This is something to both get people involved, and also to ask questions, so that they know the efforts that might be involved in meeting the standard (and be able to plan appropriately). Comments are greatly appreciated. I am on a short timeline to get this out.
