Description Derek Tattersall 2001-01-17 16:36:28 UTC
swapon -v give the message:
swapon: warning: /dev/sda6 has insecure permissions 0660, 0600 suggested
however since the device is ownerd by root:disk, and there are no members
of group disk other than root, this message suggests a vulnerability where
there is none.
