Hello all.....

I am trying out some new things with my boxs at home to use at work....
I want to compile my src.rpms for redhat with root.newgroup so that I can get rid of the
the world rwx perms on some sellect rpms......

I have installed some srpms to have a look at the spec files and see I can change
the default -root.root to whatever but I see no listing on some of them for the default
directory/data -perms....

I know redhat sets its root to 022 and users to 002 and I want my permissions to be
users 027 and root to be 027 with users belonging to a group allowed to use the srpms
I compile.....

If I set/change the default umask in ~/ or /etc/bashrc it gets kind of wild going to each and
every file to set correct group and no rwx for the world....

can someone point how to find an easy way to explore tighter perms for my works boxes

some examples:
sylpheed, mozilla, xmms, xfce, etc.....
Iknow I can just go into the /usr/bin and change the binaries, but I want to change my boxes
security a bit more than that..........

Thanx in advance
emf
