I know that this is not related to your ultimate question, but I would 
not recommend giving read access to everyone. Even if you have guest 
disabled, this still leaves you vulnerable to snoops discovering your 
configuration. With that in hand, they can make phone calls on your 
dime. I would change the access rights on all of these files to 640.
