Hmm. Good point.<p>This becomes a much larger problem if something runs things from /usr/local with increased privileges -- something from launchd run as root, for instance.<p>I was originally thinking just from the perspective of the active user, but a lot of things get run without the logged in user's knowledge, and with a varying level of privilege.<p>Ok, yeah, I agree with the original poster of this thread: yikes, time to start chmodding things.
