A user brought to my attention that she gets the following error message
when she enters the posix shell:

 cannot open script "/etc/profile": Permission denied

I checked the /etc/profile and sure enough it has -r--r----- access (0440).
Then I checked the other files and noticed that all the non-symbolic link
files had this same access.  When checking an MPE/iX 5.0 system, they all
had -r--r--r-- (0444).  This has got to be a mistake, but I need to know how
it happened.  Did it happen during the upgrade to 5.5?  Or perhaps a patch?
Or something else?  BTW, I plan on putting these files back to 0444 but am
now wondering what other files might have been modified.  Any help is
appreciated.
