\fPmsec\fP is the main script of msec package. It enables the system administrator to change the security level for that system.

.PP
You must be root to run \fPmsec\fP .

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.

permissions/owners/groups and /etc/security/msec/level.local to override the rules (see mseclib(3) for details).
