Security /
Periodic system security check
OpenBSD's daily(8) script runs a security check which mails any security(8) issues to root.
As part of the security(8) check,
mtree(8) checks the file ownership and
permissions of any files listed in /etc/mtree/special
. File permissions
must be at least as strict as those. Otherwise, the
security(8) script run by
daily(8) will flag those files and mail
root about them.
