HP Security Monitor/iX User's Guide

The Maximum File Protection Option 

This Security Monitor feature provides security protection for objects at
the time they are created.

This can be accomplished:

   1.  By enforcing a restrictive default access control on newly created
       files.

   2.  By requiring the user to explicitly specify the desired access
       controls on the file when requesting its creation.

In either case, absolutely no unauthorized access to newly created files
is allowed.

When set, the Maximum Protection feature enforces restrictive access to
newly created files.  The standards for access to newly created files
are:

   1.  When the feature is set, an file created without an associated ACD
       can be accessed only by its creator, SM, AM, and no one else.

   2.  When a file is associated with an ACD, the ACD rules, regardless
       of the status of the Maximum Protection feature.

   3.  When the feature is not enabled, and no ACD is present, file
       access can be controlled using the :ALTSEC command.
