I have a single machine, no local network, with a broadband
(cable modem) connection. Using msec,level 3, which uses a default
umask of 022.
Is there any reason to create a perm.local file rather than
simply edit the settings in the /usr/share/msec/perm.xx files? I want
to change the umask for the entire /mnt/windows tree to allow rwx for
all local users.
Currently it is controlled in perm.3 by (I think)
/mnt/ root.root 755
so could I just add
/mnt/windows/* root.windows 770
to give rwx access to local users of the group windows and wall off as
far as possible all access to someone who managed a remote login?
If not, a brief explanation of why would be greatly appreciated,
along with a pointer to further explanation.
And a second question. When I get the household network up I
will be using SNF, smoothwall, or something similar. Should each of
the local machines continue to use msec, will it be unnecessary, or can
I obviate msec by running something else on the router?
