Hi everyone,
I found really odd that by default a lot of distribution set the /etc/passwd as 644. (I rather prefer 640)
I found curious that any user account can list the full list of user registered on the machine..
If I'll set /etc/passwd as 640 is there a way to see which account try and fail to read it ?
Thanks
