msec will change the permissions to those in /usr/share/msec/perm.x where x is the security level You should not need to edit that file since you can create an override using drakperm. Drakperm will create a /etc/security/msec/perm.local file for you. It is all explained here http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
