Request change of default permissions

The /var/ct/RMstart.log is the logfile used by RMC and can contain sensitive data that must be secured.

RMC provides a single monitoring and management infrastructure for both RSCT peer domains and management domains. Its generalized framework is used by cluster management tools to monitor, query, modify, and control cluster resources, /var/ct/RMstart.log is the logfile used by RMC and can contain sensitive data that must be secured.

Default permissions on this file are 644, we have set our default umask to be 0077, RMC is not respecting this. This file is getting identified by Nessus scans as having unacceptable permissions and we keep having to change them every time the software is updated.
We are requesting that the default permissions for RMstart.log be changed to 640 and not 644.
