    This is a really old question. But I only just
    discovered the answer.

    The (too restrictive) permissions of /usr/lib/security
    were set by running the ASET tool at "high" which was
    using a /usr/aset/masters/tune.high file with
    the problematical permissions.

    I think the tune.high file came from Sun, but I am
    not sure as it was installed before my time at this
    particular site.

    I've seen references to the file in tripwire distributions
    as well. (web search for "Brad Beverly aset")

    On two of my machines, (both 2.6) the permissions
    of /usr/lib/security are too restrictive (nor read or
    write for other) and this prevents opensshd from
    working.

    I checked the /var/sadm/install/contents for a selection
    of machines including the ones with too restrictive
    machines, and the permission listed is 755.

    So clearly someone has restricted the permissions
    post install.

    Does anyone know why this might be done?

    Also, if anyone could please run

            grep '/usr/lib/security d' /var/sadm/install/contents

    and tell me if the permissions (4th field) is NOT 0755
    I'd be grateful.

    I'd also be interested in the real permissions of the real
    dir if differrent:

            ls -ld /usr/lib/security

    Regards,

    Matt
