I found in the documentation how you can use the /etc/security/msec/perm.local file to allow for modifying permissions of a file. My problem is with modifying a file. I've got a firewall running at security level 3. I want to modify some files like /etc/syslogd.conf and /etc/issue{.net}; However, msec keeps "undoing" my changes.Any help would be greately appreciated. Thanks, Coryedit /usr/share/msec/perm.3 and make the changes you want.Or make your own rules in the Mandrake Control Center, which are supposed to overide the defaults for each level. I think it is Security -- Security Permissions applet. Choose editable from the drop down, and enter your rules.
Right, and that makes a /etc/security/perm.local file, right? This is a firewall, so it has no gui, but I created that file manually. I put the /etc/syslog.conf file in the perm.local file with it's original owner, group, and permissions. I didn't want to change any of that, I just wanted msec to quit overlaying my changes within the file. If I modify the entry in perm.local to change ownership or permissions, will that get msec to leave it alone? Otherwise, I don't see how the perm.local file helps me in this situation.
Thanks,
Cory
