I have seen this on at least 3 default-installs for arkeia. One person as over 1/4 million files, some 0 length, some not. This is on RH 6.2, 2.2.17, 2.2.19, and 2.2.16. So you have _no_ files with 666? Have you done a find for files in the /usr/knox with permissions of at least 666? nlserved is running as root, and root:root is who owns all the files in /usr/knox/* Knox finally responded to me and told me they saw it as a known "oversight" and it would be fixed in 5.0, some day, but they don't know when that will be released. I wouldn't consider that acceptable for a security patch.
