LimeLM files are world-writableAnswered

Several LimeLM license files are created with world-writable 0777 permissions. For example:

/var/lib/.prof$ ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jan 25 16:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 78 root root 4096 Feb 23 10:25 ..
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root    0 Jan 25 16:56 .<LimeLM file here>

A customer's security scan that doesn't allow world-writable files brought this to our attention. What would the the outcome if permissions were changed to something like 0755 or 0775?

Answer

Use TA_USER if you want user specific files.
