 Package : setup
 Date    : April 27, 2015
 Affected: Business Server 2.0

 Problem Description:

 Updated setup package fixes security vulnerability:
 
 An issue has been identified in Mandriva Business Server 2's setup
 package where the /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow files containing
 password hashes were created with incorrect permissions, making them
 world-readable (mga#14516).
 
 This update fixes this issue by enforcing that those files are owned
 by the root user and shadow group, and are only readable by those
 two entities.
 
 Note that this issue only affected new Mandriva Business Server
 2 installations.  System
