I guess I didn't realize some of the implications of that. I've updated the post for 644 to match the permissions on the other files. Thanks for keeping an eye out there.

Since that directory is accessible to everyone, world write permissions means that anyone can change the file at any time. As a "10-" file will be picked up before the "50-" file (which holds the shipped-with-the-distro rules), any user can override any rules in later files. This means that any user can take control of any device, which could easily lead to rooting the box. Or am I missing something?
