Yep. This was discussed yesterday. Depending on the security level you have 
set Mandrake Secure will go around your system hourly tightening up security 
holes which could be exploited by an intruder.
You can either stop making security holes, or reduce your security level so 
msec stops complaining.
The table in Mandrake ControlCentre>Security>SecurityPermissions shows the 
permissions msec will enforce on different folders at the various security 
levels.
