We'd have to have a config setting to say what the appropriate config

You could at least confirm that the file isn't world writable.

That would be a safe compromise.

But still very wasteful of system calls (and CPU). There are a million ways an admin could shoot herself in the foot - why should we check for this particular one over and over?


I wonder if we could do that as a config plugin.
