I see no reason why /etc/logcheck should have any more permissions
than 0750. Please consider removing access rights from 'other'.

Conversely, I don't see much point in being this restrictive?

For a fact, some packages install 644 files:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/logcheck# ls -la ignore.d.server/ntp-server
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 45 Aug 26 10:30 ignore.d.server/ntp-server

By making /etc/logcheck 750, those could be protected, and it would
be unnecessary to file bugs against all packages installing 644
logcheck files.

However, ignore.d.* is only accessible by root and users in the logcheck group:

drwxr-s---   2 root logcheck  608 2006-02-06 22:53 ignore.d.paranoid
drwxr-s---   2 root logcheck 2808 2006-02-12 23:56 ignore.d.server
drwxr-s---   2 root logcheck  896 2006-02-10 20:15 ignore.d.workstation

It looks to me like they're already protected?
