./instr.lib/Agilent 34401/Private/Extended User Data.ctl has execute permission
many html files have execute permission
many mnu files have execute permission
many plist files have execute permission
a few so files have execute permission
etc. etc.
Many resource and distributed instr.lib files are world writable (bad security at most admin writeable)
Hopefully someone will go over the distribution with a security script? I usually run my own but YMMV.

And just found that many settings are too restrictive. For example it is impossible to use VIPM with the default settings even as an administrator.
The group should be set for admin for **AT LEAST** the following folders:
User.lib
menus
examples
vi.lib/addons
In general in setting up security for the LabVIEW installation I make the whole structure writeable by the admin group, just not standard users. Assume that an admin can do anything anyway.
