Uh... if it's running as root via cron, there's no need to have the
root password in the file and, thus, no harm in having it be
world-readable, eh?
I think the original problem was that users needed to be able to
run the script at will. The real solution to the problem at hand is
a better system for time synchronization.
(What's more, the original poster's email address--he's not
subscribed to the list, but was included in the Cc line for at least
*some* time--seems to have disappeared from the headers...)
