Subject: Proper Permissions - Global Address Book

What should be the correct permissions on the PINE global address book 
and associated files?  Our setup is the following:

        rwxr--r--  root   users    globaladdressbook
        rw-rw----  root   system   globaladdressbook.lu

Is this correct?

People with read access to the addressbook file also benefit from having 
read access to the associated lookup (.lu) file, so set the ownership 
and/or protections accordingly.

If you don't then every time someone starts Pine it builds a private copy 
of the lookup file in your tmp directory!
