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
