It did until Alan Cox decided to make a (IMHO) knee-jerk reaction to
an idiotic bugtraq report.

On lines 1687 and 1693 of linux/net/ipv4/ip_fw.c, change `S_IRUSR to
`S_IRUGO'.  I've been trying to get chmod working on /proc entries so
I can submit a fix to Alan, but my brief look so far yielded no fruit.
