Environment

Netiq Secure Configuration Manager 5.8.1

Situation

You want to run the NetIQ security checks System file or directory permissions and System file or directory permissions setting minimum.

Resolution

You must enter specific values for the List of Permissions parameter rather than the description of the mask permission (basic permission). For example, you must enter 131309 if you want to filter for Read permissions.

 

Also, to enter multiple mask permissions for an account, combine the permission values you want to filter using the OR function on a scientific calculator. For example, to represent Read and Write permissions, set the value to 131487, which is the combination of 131209(Read) and 278(Write).

 

Refer to the following tables for common system file and directory permission values:

 

FILE PERMISSIONS:

984063 - Full control (combination of all values)

197567 - Modify

131721 - Read and Execute
