After an unfortunate mishap with an encryption key, I have started to

I noticed a problem with the file permissions for /usr/sbin/ssh-keysign.exe:
$ getfacl.exe /usr/sbin/ssh-keysign.exe
# file: /usr/sbin/ssh-keysign.exe
# owner: andersej
# group: Domain Users
user::rwx
group::--x
other:--x
For some reason, the Windows-based backup program (Seagate Manager)
wants the Windows group "Everyone" to have read access. Otherwise it
will report:
ERROR >>> C:\cygwin64\usr\sbin\ssh-keysign.exe
Access denied
This looks a mistake of the backup program.
What Security is in place if Everyone has read access ?
Is there some special reason for denying everyone read permission
(o+r) to this file?
PS: I have the same problem with /etc/rebase.db.x86_64 which only have
660 permissions.
