Fw: why is mode of /proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp directory only 0500?

David, please apply this. 
I don't see any reason to keep it 0500.
Thanks.

I did a google search to find why the mode of the
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp directory is only 0500 and found that it
originates in a patch of yours:

        http://lwn.net/Articles/13656/

Why not have mode 0555, like this patch below?
If not 0555, then IMHO there needs to be a comment that justifies 0500.
