<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''msec''' is a package of [[Mandriva Linux]] security tools.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
''Note: See man page for details.''<br />
msec ([-o <option>=<value>...]) ([0-5])<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
msec is the main script of the msec package. It enables the system<br />
administrator to change the security level for that system. msec is<br />
provided with six preconfigured security levels. These levels range<br />
from poor security and ease of use, to paranoid config, suitable for<br />
very sensitive server applications.<br />
<br />
You must be root to run msec.<br />
Launch "msec x" to set you security level to x (x=[0-5]). It'll modify<br />
your system according to security level x features. Called without<br />
argument, it will enforce the current security level without lowering<br />
security.<br />
All the changes are logged to syslog(8) at the AUTH facility when<br />
called non interactivelly (by cron for example) or at the LOCAL1 facil‐<br />
ity when called interactivelly (on the command line or from Mandriva<br />
Linux Control Center for example).<br />
For a fine description of each security level, consult the documenta‐<br />
tion under /usr/share/doc/msec-*/security.txt.<br />
<br />
If you want to make changes to the current level, use /etc/secu‐<br />
rity/msec/perm.local to override the permissions/owners/groups (use the<br />
same syntax as /usr/share/msec/perm.* or use the drakperm graphical<br />
utility) and /etc/security/msec/level.local to override the rules (see<br />
mseclib(3) for details or use the draksec graphical utility).<br />
