We have 2 HP servers running HPux 11.11. There are directories on both like /usr/share/man/cat1.Z, /usr/share/man/cat2.Z. On one server the permissions are OK - just READ for User, Group & World. On the other server they have RW for the three groups. The auditors run a check for worls writeable files & I need to know if it is OK to at least remove World Write from these files. Are they just man pages?
Thanks,
Tim

Re: /usr/share/man
There is no problem really other than the auditors run a piece of software on the server to check security etc. & it returns a list of 2000 files which are world writeable. I know it isn't really any security risk. Just wanted the list to look better this year - purely appearance. Once they are just man pages, I will change them.
Thanks for the reply. Will assign points.
Tim

Re: /usr/share/man
Note: There may be some applications that only provide man pages in the cat* directories so make sure there is another copy in man*.Z. Note the same thing occurs for man* and man*.Z, the original is generally man*.Z. See man(1).
