Before you get your wish, make sure you will enjoy it! Maybe some process of a user in the file's current group is logging in it?
Which users are in the file's group?
Can you change the file's group to one with no members?
Sometimes, it is easier to add your own chmod to the end of the boot scripts, so the exposure is momentary and before users become active.

Yes there is easier to add line to the boot scripts, but I would like to find which line have been change the argumentum again and again. I have the solution, but I have not found the cause
On RedHat in the sysinit file there is a line:
chmod 664 /var/log/wtmp, but I would like to found a same on SuSE :S

GSHADOW(5) File Formats and Conversions GSHADOW(5) NAME
gshadow - shadowed group file DESCRIPTION
/etc/gshadow contains the shadowed information for group accounts. This file must not be readable by regular users if password security is to be maintained. Each line of this file contains the following colon-separated fields: group name It must be a valid group name, which exist on the system. encrypted password Refer to crypt(3) for details on how this string is interpreted. If the password field contains some string that is not a valid result of crypt(3), for instance ! or *, users will not be able to use a unix password to access the group (but group members do not need the password). The password is used when a user who is not a member of the group wants to gain the permissions of this group (see newgrp(1)). This field may be empty, in which case only the group members can gain the group permissions. A password field which starts with an exclamation mark means that the password is locked. The remaining characters on the line represent the password field before the password was locked. This password supersedes any password specified in /etc/group. administrators It must be a comma-separated list of user names. Administrators can change the password or the members of the group. Administrators also have the same permissions as the members (see below). members It must be a comma-separated list of user names. Members can access the group without being prompted for a password. You should use the same list of users as in /etc/group. FILES
