I have a file /etc/security/msec/level.local where I can add any changes I want or enable/disable some features. It uses mseclib so man mseclib to see the options you can use. Heres an example of allowing root logins: $ cat /etc/security/msec/level.local from mseclib import * allow_root_login(1) -- Chad Young Linux User #195191
