To this day, SunOS ships with horrible permissions on directories.
Directories that because of NFS vulnerabilities should be owned by
root ship owned by bin; /usr/games ships with loads of suid and sgid
programs that are potential security holes, etc. Part of the
system install proceedure at my last job was a large chmod/chown
script we ran on every machine...
