after doing an expert install of linux-mandrake 7.0 air, i have noticed
that the mode of some system directories is 751 or 711. the directories
on which i have noticed this are:
/bin
/sbin
/usr/X11R6
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
this means programs in these directories are not found in the path of
non-root users so they would have to type the full path to execute any
of these programs.
when i did the install, i chose the default security level 'high'.
is this a side-affect of the high security level,
or is it a bug,
or does it sound like i messed something up during the installation or
after?
on a related note...
where do i find details about what each of these security levels does?
is there a simple way to change security levels after installation?
