MSEC? level 3 or above?
man msec says this:
You must be root to run msec .
Launch "msec x" to set you security level to x (x=[0-5]).
It'll modify your system according to security level x
features.
For a fine description of each security level, consult the
documentation under /usr/share/doc/msec-0.19/security.txt.
If you want to make changes to the current level, use
/etc/security/msec/perm.local to override the permis
sions/owners/groups and /etc/security/msec/level.local to
override the rules (see mseclib(3) for details).
FILES
/usr/sbin/msec
The msec executable (sh script)
/var/lib/msec/security.conf
Contains the configuration of the current active security
level. These settings can be overridden in /etc/secu
rity/msec/security.conf.
