This is a bit off the subject, however I would like to get the opinion of
various people (mostly system administrators, but all are welcome to reply)..

The questions:  Is it UNETHICIAL for a person to read a file in a directory
		  that is owned by someone else, but that person did
		  not set file permissions to turn people away?  (oh
		  the person who owns the directory has a great deal
		  of experience and knowledge with file permissions)

The other side of this, should the person that read the file be punished
for reading something that was totally unprotected?


Please (for the sake of the firewalls net traffic) reply in e-mail to:

Thank you..
