inetd.sec: proper ownership and perms

What permissions should the /var/adm/inetd.sec file have and who should own it? Thanks.

Hi

/var/adm/inetd.sec does not exist by default at installation. You create it. If you read the man page ownership applies to users and should be writable.

root sys 644

read write owner
read only group
read only world

Make it tighter with 640

HP docs say to, I quote:

Make sure the /var/adm/inetd.sec file is owned by user root and group other, and make sure its permissions are set to 0444 (-r--r--r--).
