Problem with changing file permissions on Conserver machine,affecting Conserver

Our unix machines are being auditted, and all files with permissions of 
"other" group write are considered BAD.

We have been given a script to prepare our machines for the audit and 
eliminate all "other writable" files (it runs chmod o-w to all files 
identified by the audit script).  I applied it to the machine running 
Conserver 7.2.7, and there seemed to be a problem with a user who was 
already logged on to a console while the script was running.  She could not 
get the <ctrl>E. escape sequence to be recognized by the console program 
until after I restored the o+w file permissions.

I wonder if Conserver needs to have the ability to write o+w files for 
locking purposes, etc?

Conserver is awesome.  7.2.7 works very well.  I will be moving to 8.x.x as 
soon as I upgrade the machine.

Thanks,
