Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-5
Severity: minor
File: /etc/logrotate.conf


Current logrotate config defines permissions 0664 for /var/log/btmp.
There is a known problem with sshd making unnecessary problems about
group permissions on this file, but that aside, isn't this also a bad
file to make world-readable?  From what I understand, it might contain
passwords that were accidentally typed at username prompts.
