Hi,
I recently stumbled upon the default world readable permissons of /root and
/etc/sysctl.conf. I think that it would be more secure to reduce the default
permission for /root to 0700 and to 0600 for /etc/sysctl.conf.
I prepared a differtial for the proposed change:

What do you think?
Best regards,
Gordon
