I am not sure if  I understand you correct. I guess you think that since 
the 600 permission, there must
be some suid 0 applications to use it. Actually, there is no such 
applications, this file will only be
used by sadasupport. We make the permission 600 to avoid normal users to 
open it.
Correct me if I misunderstand you.
