Subject: mode of /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 11:18:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030728091818.GA8475@spaans.vs19.net> (raw)
Hello,
Can anybody tell me why /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp is mode 0500 instead of the
more logical 0555 ? Is there something to hide from normal users in there?
Diff below fixes this, but I'd like to know the rationale behind this..
