I think I figured it out on my Mandrake 9.1 system. It seems msec runs
everyone once in a while and resets the permissions for files and
subdirectorys back to the level as listed in perm.2 file. When I
changed the perm.2 file, msec changed the permissions on
/home/everyone. So then I added a perm.local file and made the
permissions on /home/everyone 1775. Took it out of perm.2 and it seems
to work correctly. So any local change you want in the permmissions
need to be made in perm.local. When I grep msec messages msec is
reading perm.2 and then perm.local. When I change secruity to level 3.
msec reads perm.3 and then perm.local. verygood. The question for
today is: Is Mandrake the only distribution that uses msec? If so what
does the other distributions use? Thanks again to all of you for your
help and expecially to Ray.
Thanks for your time
