[Sshguard-users] permission problems with hosts.allow

[Andy W. <aj...@il...>]

Hi,

I've enabled sshguard using tcpwrappers. It seems there is something
wrong with how the temp file for modifying hosts.allow is created:

ls -l /etc/hosts.allow 
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 574 Apr  7 16:30 /etc/hosts.allow

I don't think hosts.allow should become world writable.
