 I was interested in your comment about 
'find' and 'custom'. 
I assume you mean the /etc/security/msec/init-sh/custom.sh?

I ran this but I also tried the DrakConf button security-level thingy
and had assumed the 'custom.sh' would cancel it out?
So to partially answer my own question, then 'find' is a result of
one of the security choices either in 'custom.sh' or the the other 
'msec' GUI chooser button program.

Or in fact do you mean by 'custom' a custom firewall/ipchains/tripwire
kind of setup?
I have been running a Tripwire rpm successfully with 6.1 which
installed flawlessly and worked right from thestart but have not
tried it with 7.0 until more "kinks" get worked out on my 7.0 system.

So to any MandrakeSoft folks who might read this;
Does msec make something like Tripwire redundant?

Thanks to All
