You realize, of course, that you are giving everyone in the known universe
(that can get to your machine) read and write access to all directories that
are readable/writable to "others"?  This is what the READ=/ and WRITE=/ does.

I believe that you *must* specify FULL path names in the READ and WRITE lists.
