File Permissions in OMSA 5.2 (SLES10)

[David Carter]

After installing OMSA 5.2 on a number of Poweredge 2950s running SLES 10, I 
seem to have ended up with a collection of world writable files:

   /var/log/TTY_00000000.log
   /var/log/ssevt.log
   /opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/.omaipc
   /opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/log/cachecfg.txt
   /opt/dell/srvadmin/shared/.ipc/.sharedipc

/opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/.omaipc is part of the srvadmin-omacore RPM. The 
other 4 files seem to be created as the various monitoring packages start.

Is there an easy way to fix the permissions from within OMSA? These files 
really shouldn't need to be world writable. Two of the files:

   /opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/log/cachecfg.txt
   /var/log/TTY_00000000.log

get rotated when OMSA starts, so a simple chmod doesn't help. In fact a 
chmod seems to stop some of the daemons from starting.

My fallback would be to restrict access to /var/log and /opt/dell. The CLI 
is the only part of OMSA that I need.
