I'm wondering why /etc/cron.d differs in readable for all realted to all others :
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ ls -ld /etc/cron*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 12  2008 /etc/cron.d
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Feb 18 17:55 /etc/cron.daily
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  220 Oct 20 11:05 /etc/cron.deny
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Aug 11  2008 /etc/cron.hourly
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jan 17 10:24 /etc/cron.monthly
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 May 27  2007 /etc/cron.weekly
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  616 Oct 20 11:05 /etc/crontab


Reproducible: Always

This is a Gentoo quirk. It is sys-process/cronbase that strays from the norm by setting mode 0750 for the directories that it manages.
