You're right, the directory is protected in this way. If that is indeed
sufficient to protect the underlying file then I suppose this bug could be
closed.
Still makes me a bit nervous though. What if the directory permissions are
inadvertently changed, for whatever reason? I'd feel more secure if evolution
applied the permissions mask when the password file is created to make it
explicitly non-world (if not group) readable.
