So I finally figured out how you customize MSEC... thanks to Jon's link below...
Specifically for making Mandrake 9.2 happy with MAILMAN I created the file /etc/security/msec/perm.local containing the following lines: /var/lib/mailman/logs mail.mail 2775 /var/lib/mailman/logs/* mail.mail 2775 /var/log/mailman mail.mail 2775 /var/log/mailman/* mail.mail 2775 /var/log/mailman/*/* mail.mail 2775 Hope this helps someone else... it is much cleaner than my "every minute cron" patch. :) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Burkett Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Todd Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] File Permissions on /var/lib/mailman/logs files... It is MSEC... and I've gone in and modified the perm files (/usr/share/msec/perm.[0-5]) to add lines for the /var/lib/mailman/logs directory and files as well as the /var/log/mailman directory and its files... still some strangeness at times so I'm leaving the every minute cron jobs in as well to override the file perms directly... not pretty but it is working. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Carnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 3:09 PM To: Todd Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] File Permissions on /var/lib/mailman/logs files... What level is your MSec set to? It could definitely be doing this. http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php Jon Carnes On Tue, 2004-02-03 at 15:44, Todd wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Mike Burkett wrote: > > I've just upgraded to V2.1.4 and am having some problems with file > > permissions on the /var/lib/mailman/logs files. > [...] > > Something keeps resetting the permissions to 0600 and then the web > > interface dies with the info below. > [...] > > Any suggestions?
