Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-19 13:46:36 UTC
Are you able to log in?

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2011-10-19 13:47:23 UTC
Yes, I'm able to log in.

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2011-10-19 13:53:37 UTC
I suspect that more services (not just login and sshd) will read this file.

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-19 13:57:34 UTC
Really read?

What are you getting in permissive mode?

Comment 5 Milos Malik 2011-10-19 13:59:40 UTC
You're right. getattr is enough. Here is what I see in permissive mode:
