QNX world writable files on Product Suite 2009  
Hi:

We have a security conscious customer that was interested in minimizing the number of world writable files (i.e. -rw-rw-
rw-  ) found in the QNX Product Suite 2009.

We found that Proc32 was a world writable file.
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root      root         132766 Jul 18  2005 /boot/sys/Proc32

My question is if I execute :  chmod o-w /boot/sys/Proc32
will this have serious repercussions for the OS or is this something that could be done without harm.
I'm looking for feedback so I can respond to my customer.


Thanks,
  Kevin
