Tightened file permissions in SSMC Appliance Filesystem
Some of the files in the default appliance file system apparently have more privileges than what is required per the security norms, which supports ease-of-use and flexibility over security. This switch secures all such excess privileges and only gives the minimum required permissions for functioning of the software. Use the following command to set the file permissions:
sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o set_file_permission -f
