Dear experts,

I have I question/problem with msec on my 8.2 system: it keeps changing
permissions on directory /home/PgDB. /var/log/auth.log has: 
... 
Aug 13
15:01:00 ples msec: changed mode of /home/PgDB from 700 to 755 
...

Trouble is, this is my data directory for PostgreSQL database, so it has
to have permission 700, i.e.:
drwx------    6 postgres postgres     4096 Aug 13 14:56 PgDB/

otherwise, the Postgres server is not accepting connections correctly.

I looked at msec but wasn't able to figure out what to change. My security
level is 2 (just a personal computer, default 8.2 security). Looked at
/var/lib/msec/security.conf, but what do I change? It is not clear from
reading man msec or mseclib. 

Would appreciate any hints on how to deal with this.

Thanks,
Aleksey

P.S. Below is my /var/lib/msec/security.conf

CHECK_UNOWNED=no
CHECK_SHADOW=no
CHECK_SUID_MD5=yes
CHECK_SECURITY=yes
CHECK_PASSWD=no
SYSLOG_WARN=yes
CHECK_SUID_ROOT=yes
CHECK_PERMS=no
CHKROOTKIT_CHECK=no
CHECK_PROMISC=no
RPM_CHECK=no
TTY_WARN=no
CHECK_WRITEABLE=yes
MAIL_WARN=no
CHECK_OPEN_PORT=no
CHECK_SUID_GROUP=yes
