Description Summer Long 2017-01-05 02:21:39 UTC 
The openstack-swift package itself installs the file with the correct permissions, however a puppet script that runs as part of the install incorrectly removes and recreates the file with world-readable permissions.

Comment 6 Alex Schultz 2017-01-12 17:25:10 UTC 
It should be noted that openstack-11 is not affected as upstream landed a change[0] in how these configuration files are updated.  That being said, OSP8,OSP9 are affected via openstack-puppet-modules[1][2]. OSP7 should not be affected as it still had the permissions[3]
