MSEC is causing the change of permissions on home directories. If you are not happy with the current permissions, then either: 1) select a security level with the permissions you require. You can see the what permissions used with each level are by looking in /etc/security/msec 2) create a perm.local file in /etc/security/msec with the directories and permissions that you require. This file overrides the default msec permissions. 3) remove msec. > Or just cleany explain during installation how to disable this disgusting > behaviour. > > So now > auto-mount, > auto-device-generation, > auto-permission, > auto-script-generation > auto-* If you dont like these auto packages, deselect them during the install phase.
