Permissions of tomcat-users.xml

Hi there,

I noticed that, on a standard installation of tomcat5.5 on Debian/etch
(last checked with 5.5.20-2), /var/lib/tomcat5.5/conf/tomcat-users.xml
is world-readable (644). I think that's a security problem and tomcat
seems to work fine when the file is chmodded to 400.

Should I file a bug report on this?

Thanks for your advice,

and ask for one.
