I just got this after I sent my other email a moment ago.
I am doing the find immediately before the "check_devices" find in the
hope that it will still be cached.
(This reminds me that many times I have thought it would be useful to have
a "multifind" tool that can output to different file handles its results.)
My plan is to enable by default.
Checking for world writable files is common and seems like a good addition
to the /etc/security. (I think it is more important that some checks
already there.)
Anyone else have a thought on this?
