Re: [NV-L] NetView File Permissions

Thanks James.
That's what I needed to know. Normally if the file with wide permissions was
created by an application, we'll let IA know that we can't modify the file
because we don't know how it will affect the application.

The stuff in /usr/OV/tmp can be deleted, but there is no way I know of to
control what permissions are used on the files created there. When you restart
the ITSL2_netmon.tmp file for example will get re-created with the same
permissions you have now. It should have no effect if you change them from
rw-rw-rw- to something more restrictive.
Ditto with the log files. You can ovstop the daemons and chmod 644 everything
in the directory and restart. No big deal. But if you remove a log file which
is currently created as rw-rw-rw- then it will get re-created that way when the
daemon restarts. I don't know of any way to control that.

[NV-L] NetView File Permissions
All,
Once a year IA (Information Assurance) will scan our UNIX based NetView servers
and this year files in the following NetView directories were sited with wide
file permissions:
/usr/OV/tmp
/usr/OV/log
/usr/OV/www/logs
/usr/OV/www/webapps
Attached are some of the files in the above directories. Can someone tell me if
I can scale back some of the permissions without harming NetView?
TIA,
Stephanie
