Sure, but in a minute or so msec may revert the changes. I would change it in /etc/security/msec/perms.conf (Perhaps /etc/security/msec/perm.local can be used) and run msecperms afterwards. === /home/* current.current 700 === Then msec will from now on automatically enforce the permissions to what you want. (Note: The spaces between the tree fields are TABs in my file, and not spaces. Also, "current.current" means that msec wont change the owner of files and folders. In /home/ you really don't want msec to automatically change ownership of files, or yourt users will be angry :-)= ) To get a grasp of some of the currently forced entries and what you can do, look in the various config files in /etc/security/msec/. If you have the default security level, the *.standard are the files you want to look into. (I think) "*.local" overrides the default values. I use this to enforce customized access restrictions on a couple of programs, so the few users who have access to my gateway don't have access to telnet and nmap unless they are members of a special group that I've setup. -- Johnny A.
