Um.  It looks like I stepped on some toes.  I apologize.  I was mainly 
addressing the VMS environment when I made my crack about "system 
administrators 
worth their salt".  I have no idea what the requirements are for login 
directories in the Unix world.  Moreover, I was trying to be "smart", and while 
I had my tongue implanted in my cheek, I did not make it clear that I can 
imagine business reasons even on VMS for having world readable login 
directories 
(though not world writeable).

Sorry.
