In fact, resolv.conf is probably mode 600 -- I put a silly bug into
netcfg which has been fixed in the latest version. See the Errata
page at
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/rh40-errata-general.html
However, just running netcfg won't fix it, it just won't re-create the
problem. To fix the problem, do:
chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf
Sorry for the inconvenience.
