My machine currently uses level 4 security which sets the permissions on /var/tmp to 1773, however I need to make it possible for "other" to be able to read their files from this directory (i.e. mode 1777. so I added to perm.local the following line

/var/tmp root.adm 1777

and then went ahead and modified the permissions on the directory manually to see what msec does:

chmod g+r /var/tmp

Unfortunately when I run msec it changes the permissions back to 1773. Isn't perm.local supposed to allow me to override the default settings? How do I achieve this?

Thanks,
Avi
