Hi, folks. I wanted to draw the attention of anyone who used Fedora 20 pre-release (Alpha, Beta, or TC/RC for Alpha, Beta or Final) to this issue:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F20_bugs#.2Froot_permissions_incorrect...
Briefly, if you did use F20 pre-release - this includes yum or otherwise upgrading to F20 at any time the older 'rootfiles' package was in the F20 repos, that is any time prior to about 12-05 (testing) /12-11 (stable) - permissions on the /root directory are likely to be 0755, which is probably not what most sysadmins would expect. You may wish to change them to 0550 or something similarly locked-down.
