Correct ;) I can think of `/etc/passwd' straight OTTOMH - a humble ls will
confuse all the users who can't see their own username straight.
If the OP wants to persist in this, he'll have to consider system daemons
as well; your MTA & MDA probably take a walk through /etc/ as user `mail',
maybe... Woops :)
