Verify that all SLEM 5 local initialization files have a mode of "740" or less permissive with the following command:

Note: The example will be for the user "dosuser", who has a home directory of "/home/dosuser".

> sudo ls -al /home/dosuser/.* | more
-rw-r-x---- 1 dosuser users 896 Mar 10 2011 .profile
