Package: psad
Version: 2.2-3.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

with TCPWRAPPERS_BLOCK_METHOD=Y psad modifies the current permissions of 
/etc/hosts.deny.
This harms other packages (here snmpd), that require read access to the TCP 
wrapper configs.

>From my understanding, a package must not forcefully alter permissions of 
>commonly used files. 
At least not, if this behvior isnt't configurable in any way.

Kind regards
Joerg Delker
