Description Robert Scheck 2013-04-22 23:36:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
The default permissions of /etc/prosody/* are weak. If I would put any of
my database connection data into the default configuration file (which is
expected) then these login credentials could be read by everybody on this
local system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
prosody-0.8.2-5.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Everytime, just set up a plain prosody and have a look to the permissions.

Actual results:
The default permissions of /etc/prosody/* are weak.

Expected results:
More hardend default permissions of /etc/prosody/*.

Additional info:
This issue affects all Fedora and EPEL branches! Please apply the attached
patch or better.
