It supports different security -configurations, which can be organized into several security levels, stored in -/etc/security/msec/level.LEVELNAME. Currently, three preconfigured security levels are -provided with Mandriva Linux: - -.TP -\fBnone\fR -this level disables all msec options. It should be used when you want to manage -all aspects of system security on your own. - -.TP -\fBdefault\fR -this is the default security level, which configures a reasonably safe set of security -features. It activates several periodic system checks, and sends the results of their -execution by email (by default, the local 'root' account is used). - -.TP -\fBsecure\fR -this level is configured to provide maximum system security, even at the cost of limiting -the remote access to the system, and local user permissions. It also runs a wider set of -periodic checks, enforces the local password settings, and periodically checks if the -system security settings, configured by msec, were modified directly or by some other -application. - -.TP -Note that besides those levels you may create as many levels as necessary. - -.PP - -The security settings are stored in \fB/etc/security/msec/security.conf\fR -file, and default settings for each predefined level are stored in -\fB/etc/security/msec/level.LEVEL\fR. Permissions for files and directories -that should be enforced or checked for changes are stored in -\fB/etc/security/msec/perms.conf\fR, and default permissions for each -predefined level are stored in \fB/etc/security/msec/perm.LEVEL\fR. Note -that user-modified parameters take precedence over default level settings. For -example, when default level configuration forbids direct root logins, this -setting can be overridden by the user. - -.PP - -The following options are supported by msec applications: - -.TP -\fBmsec\fR: -.PP - -This is the console version of msec. It is responsible for system security configuration -and checking and transitions between security levels. - -When executed without parameters, msec will read the system configuration file -(/etc/security/msec/security.conf), and enforce the specified security -settings. The operations are logged to \fB/var/log/msec.log\fP file, and also -to syslog, using \fBLOG_AUTHPRIV\fR facility. Please note that msec should -by run as root. - -\fB\-h, --help\fR - This option will display the list of supported command line options. - -\fB\-l, --level <level>\fR - List the default configuration for given security level. - -\fB\-f, --force <level>\fR - - Apply the specified security level to the system, overwritting all local -changes in /etc/security/msec/security.conf. This usually should be performed -either on first install, on when a transition to a different level is required. - -\fB\-d\fR - Enable debugging messages. - -\fB\-p, --pretend\fR - Verify the actions that will be performed by msec, without actually -doing anything to the system. In this mode of operation, msec performs all the -required tasks, except effectively writting data back to disk. - -.TP -\fBmsecperms\fR: -.PP - -This application is responsible for system permission checking and enforcements. - -When executed without parameters, msecperms will read the permissions -configuration file (/etc/security/msec/perms.conf), and enforce the specified -security settings.
