Ok, I am worried.  I did not even stop to check if this was in the 
archives or not.
I was just logged into CPX as the "server admin user".  Just for kicks I 
decided to try to access a file that should not have been accessible at 
all.  Before I accessed the file, it looked like this:
-rw-------   1 root         wheel           1584 Jan 25 09:11 secrets.txt
To my shock and horror I was able to view the file in CPX 
(fortunately I was using HTTPS).  After I accessed the file it looked like 
this:
-rw-rw----   1 root         www             1584 Jan 25 09:11 secrets.txt
Ummmm.... does anyone else see the major security issue(s) here?!
Is this a known bug?  Is this a feature?  If so, it is a terrible 
feature, IMESHO.
Thanks,
Jonathan
