Is there any reason why the `node_data directory should have world access write permission? So far I have seen only new crp_mbx??? files from SR9 crp logins. If this directory stays open, any of the (necessary) symbolic links in it can be deleted. Anybody can create new directories or rename old directories. To be more general: could Apollo publish a complete list of files and directories which necessarily MUST have world write permission? Some directories must be open for a while, since files must be created for the first time. But once such files are there, the directory can be closed again. Unfortunately, such files sometimes have an explicit ownership of the user who created the file the first time, and the file must be writable for the world.
