Snort configuration files from etc/ have strange permissions

[Alexander Bayandin via Snort-devel <snort-devel () lists snort org>]

Hello,

While working on updating snort to 2.9.16
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/53158> on Homebrew I've
noticed that files in etc/ have strange permissions (I've downloaded source
from https://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/snort-2.9.16.tar.gz):

$ ls -al snort-2.9.16/etc
total 568
drwxrwxr-x@ 12 bayandin  staff     384 Apr  8 13:32 .
drwxrwxr-x@ 32 bayandin  staff    1024 Apr  8 13:32 ..
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff     190 Apr  8 12:45 Makefile.am
-rw-rw-r--@  1 bayandin  staff   12633 Apr  8 13:30 Makefile.in
-r-xr-xr-x@  1 bayandin  staff    1281 Apr  8 12:45 attribute_table.dtd
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff    3757 Apr  8 12:45 classification.config
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   23654 Apr  8 12:45 file_magic.conf
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   32789 Apr  8 12:45 gen-msg.map
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff     687 Apr  8 12:45 reference.config
-rw-rw-r--@  1 bayandin  staff   26798 Apr  8 13:32 snort.conf
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff    2335 Apr  8 12:45 threshold.conf
-r--r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff  160606 Apr  8 12:45 unicode.map

And as a reference — previous version available on Homebrew (2.9.12):

$ ls -al snort-2.9.12/etc
total 560
drwxr-xr-x@ 12 bayandin  staff     384 Sep 25  2018 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 31 bayandin  staff     992 Sep 25  2018 ..
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff     190 Nov 18  2015 Makefile.am
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   12546 Sep 25  2018 Makefile.in
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff    1281 Aug 20  2007 attribute_table.dtd
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff    3793 Sep 25  2018 classification.config
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   23058 Jun 10  2014 file_magic.conf
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   32721 Jun 13  2018 gen-msg.map
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff     687 Sep 25  2018 reference.config
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff   26803 Sep 25  2018 snort.conf
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff    2556 Sep 25  2018 threshold.conf
-rw-r--r--@  1 bayandin  staff  160606 Jul 13  2011 unicode.map


These unexpected permissions prevented snort to be updated on Homebrew
several times: 2.9.13 <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/38910>
, 2.9.14.1 <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/43296>, 2.9.15
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/45973> and 2.9.15.1
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/50218> and potentially
caused some problems for other users/systems.

Could anyone have a look at it, please?

Thanks!
