/etc/katello/secure/passphrase is currently world readable, presenting
a minor security vulnerability

I just submitted : https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/1349 to fix
this issue. Here's what it does:

1. apply umask 0007 before passphrase creation
2. create katello_shared group
3. add katello + tomcat to katello_shared group
4. chgrp katello_shared on /etc/katello/secure

Keep this in mind if in the future foreman, pulp, etc need access to
this directory.
