 wp-config.php is created with global read and write privileges when
 running through the install process.

  * Using Wordpress 2.7.1 (as downloaded from wordpress.org on Apr. 13)
  * Installing to a Linux server with PHP 5.2.4 installed as an fcgi
  * choosing to have the install process create a wp_config.php file for me
 (as opposed to uploading a custom one)

 {{{
 ls -lah wp/wp-config.php
 -rw-rw-rw- 1 web web 2.5K Apr 13 12:10 wp/wp-config.php
 }}}

 I'd suggest slightly stricter permissions by default :)
