Subject: megaraid_sas dbg_lvl permissions
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:14:48 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <31647799.1118451218748488466.JavaMail.root@ouachita> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <25702243.1118401218748366053.JavaMail.root@ouachita>

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/megaraid_sas/dbg_lvl defaults to being world-writable, which
seems bad (letting any user affect kernel driver behavior and logging level).

This turns off group and user write permissions, so that on typical production systems
only root can write to it.
