[comp.unix.ultrix] Ultrix-DECnet software

I have a DECstation 3100, Ultrix 4.1 with the DECnet-Ultrix software.
I am wondering why /usr/bin/tell is installed chmod 755 instead of
4755.  What are the security risks of chmod'ing 4755 /usr/bin/tell?
As it is, you have to type the password for the remote site even if a
proxy file is set up.
