This functions can be used +in /etc/security/msec/level.local to override the behaviour of the msec program or in standalone +scripts. The first argument of the functions takes a value of 1 or 0 or -1 (or yes/no/ignore) +except when specified otherwise. + +.TP 4 +.B \fIaccept_bogus_error_responses(arg)\fP +Accept/Refuse bogus IPv4 error messages. + +.TP 4 +.B \fIaccept_broadcasted_icmp_echo(arg)\fP + Accept/Refuse broadcasted icmp echo. + +.TP 4 +.B \fIaccept_icmp_echo(arg)\fP + Accept/Refuse icmp echo. + +.TP 4 +.B \fIallow_autologin(arg)\fP +Allow/Forbid autologin. + +.TP 4 +.B \fIallow_issues(arg)\fP +If \fIarg\fP = ALL allow /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net to exist.

Only local ones +if \fIarg\fP = LOCAL and none if \fIarg\fP = NONE. To authorize the services you need, use /etc/hosts.allow +(see hosts.allow(5)). + +.TP 4 +.B \fIcreate_server_link()\fP +If SERVER_LEVEL (or SECURE_LEVEL if absent) is greater than 3 +in /etc/security/msec/security.conf, creates the symlink /etc/security/msec/server +to point to /etc/security/msec/server.<SERVER_LEVEL>.
