base-passwd: postinstall script too open permissions

Hi John,
do you remember the reason why the passwd-grp.sh postinstall script
calls
chmod 777 /etc/passwd
chmod 777 /etc/group
? That's not right, IMO. The permissions should rather be 644 and
not allow writing for everyone.
Along the same lines, the `chmod a+w' calls in the second half of the
script should better just be `chmod u+w'.
Would you mind to change that, please?
Corinna
