Well, I finally got around to reading the msec man pages and mandrakesecure.net article, and have made some changes. Something that's behaving a bit weird, however, is a couple of the parameters. In my level.local file, I have:
from mseclib import * allow_reboot(1) allow_user_list(1) enable_at_crontab(1) authorize_services(ALL) password_aging(-1) set_shell_timeout(0) set_user_umask(022) Now, when I run msec, I see the following messages: msec: unable to parse chage output msec: unable to parse chage output msec: unable to parse chage output msec: unable to parse chage output msec: unable to parse chage output Although the syslog seems to indicate that it's dealing with user passwords. The other odd thing is that when I run it, the syslog reports that it's setting the umask for users to 18. 18?? And of course, when I open a shell window in my X console, I get a message from the shell, from umask, informing me that '18' is not an octal number between 000 and 777. Now, I very clearly see "set_user_umask(022)" in my level.local file. *How* is it coming up with "18?" --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
