Then "Go to Folder"

Enter "/private" and hit the [ Go ] button

Right mouse click on the "etc" folder and choose "Get Info"

Click on the lock at the bottom to unlock the settings
Under "Sharing & Permissions:" you should have following:

everyone - Read Only

After setting these Click on the gear and choose "Apply to enclosed items..."
