"fascist"

From time to time I see consultants using the term "fascist" to refer to a
directory without world read access.  I think this is an inappropriate term
to use in olc for three reasons:

	1. Most users won't understand the intended meaning.

	2. It makes a judgement about correct file permissions
	which it is not our job to make.

	3. It it likely to offend some users; because they are used to
	hearing "fascist" in a different context users are likely to
	think olc is making accusations about their politics.
