This should by no means be needed. I have a Spacewalk running just
fine with the permissions as provided by rpms. Plus we were
specifically restricting the access in the past as part of addressing
some security concerns (database passwords are there).

Could you please provide more insight (ideally new thread or
bugzilla) what issues exactly you've hit and what errors you got, so
that someone can investigate?
