Give the listener a password.

Had a bit of a shock this morning. I never knew that the lsnrctl was
-rwxr-x--x by default and a random unix user shut down the listener on our
production database.

Is there any reason not to change the privileges on this file, making it
-rwxr-x---? Is there a reason it's set this way? This seems like a big
security hole.
