Way Wrong! /etc gets set o-rx on named startup!

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	BIND 8.2.3 secures the directory containing the UNIX domain
	socket on Solaris (and SunOS 4) because the OS fails to
	honour the file permissions on the socket itself.  This
	was in the README in the for 8.2.2*.

	The default socket is now DESTRUN/ndc.d/ndc on these platforms.
