you don't need to worry about the permissions of your /etc/passwd file (of 
course you should ;-) if you want to stop users getting it over http. just 
add a directive like for your .htaccess files.
<Files ~ "^passwd"> 
    Order allow,deny 
    Deny from all 
</Files>
this directive in your httpd.conf should stop users from download files calld 
passwd.
