The following paragraph from http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php should help: "If you want to override some permissions, you can do this with the /etc/security/msec/perm.local file. Each level has it's own set of different file permissions for some certain files. If you want to take a look at the defaults for each level, look at the /usr/share/msec/perm.* files. They contain the file name (or directory), the user/group that should own it, and the numeric permissions for the file or directory. Let's say, for example, that you are using level 4 but don't want to have /boot with only 700 permissions, which is the default in level 4. You would create your /etc/security/msec/perm.local file and write in it the following: /boot/ root.root 755 Then you would execute msec (just type "msec" at the command prompt as root), and if you look at the permissions of the /boot directory now, you will see it is 755, so normal users can look in there." -- Tim C [EMAIL PROTECTED]
