Dear friends, i am noticing that every once in a while that rwx--xr-x /home root users..... ist changed back to rwxr-xr-x /home root root ..... I know these information is no very precise. sorry for that. Here my question: Is there a program under SUSE 7.2 that does this ? or can only root do this or one of his skripts ? also, today the server was down and the mqueue ist very full. is this any hint ? thanks a lot GL ______________________________________________________________________________ FreeMail in der Premiumversion!

That's defined in /etc/permissions, see the info in that file. Normally permissions are only set by SuSEconfig (which also can be called from yast or yast2) and AFAIK not by any cronjob except rotate_logs which set permissions according to the ones defined in /etc/logfiles So maybe they change sometimes after you use yast(2) or after you use SuSEconfig.
also, today the server was down and the mqueue ist very full. is this any hint ?
No, why should a full queue have anything to do with permissions? -- GertJan

Yes ... I guess you are new to SuSE. chkstat is a script that is probably being called by SuSEconfig. (YaST is probably running SuSEconfig for you when you use YaST to install packages.) Look at these keys in /etc/rc.config to configure chkstat, or disable it: CHECK_PERMISSIONS PERMISSION_SECURITY chkstat can chown, chmod and chgrp for you, and is generally your friend. SuSE wrote it and a man page for it. Enjoy. dproc

(YaST is probably running SuSEconfig for you when you use YaST to install packages.) Solution:
a) Deactivte SuSEconfig b) Run harden_suse (especially the userrights) - Script and check, if filerights are set propperly c) change the settings in /etc/rc.config to your delight Philippe
