We currently have the resolv.conf file permission as 666. Ok. we are going to change it to 644.My questions..
1. is 644 OK?
2. what are the side effects of 666 (other than some one can play around with the file), I mean will it have resolving issues etc..
Thanks in advance,
Joe.

Re: /etc/resolv.conf
I assume no trouble if you change the
permission to 644.

Re: /etc/resolv.conf
The most common causes for bad permissions are:
- some process complains about permissions and a bunch of files are changed to 777 in hopes of solving the problem. Usually, it doesn't but the permissions are left open anyway.
- umask has never been set. This is an absolute requirement for every Unix system and must be set for every user as: umask 077 or slightly less secure, umask 022. Make sure umask is set in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login

Re: /etc/resolv.conf
The sideeffect using 666 is the goup and other users in that machine can also modify /etc/resolv.conf file.
It is safe to have the permission as 444.
By default the permission for /etc/resolv.conf file is 644.
