That is the way I did it, but IMHO it is the naive way,
since not all files should get a+r, e.g. /etc/ssh_host*key
should not be readable by all, but just by admins and system
...
Certainly there are other files that should be treated
similar, at least when we are not willing to run with
Windows standard permissions, i.e. full access to any file
for everyone.
