MCC security

[kristi]

MCC security system security level

 

Since I do not understand this I set it to Paranoid to see if, and where I would get warning messages.

 

Nothing happened for a while. Then one time I saved a post to the forum. (fortunately it did save) Firefox disappeared and would not restart. Finally decided to reboot the computer and found that I could not log on to kristi. However I could log on to root (someone likes me). Discovered that in Login Manager /users, it had reverted back to nobody and root. Changed it to kristi and root but after reboot still could not log in to kristi - only root. Thoughtfully grabed the entire folder kristi and stashed it on my save partition. As I started to reinstall Mandriva I suddenly remembered that I had set security to Paranoid.

 

Reboot, log in to root, set security to standard, reboot into kristi just fine.

 

But where are the messages, warnings, etc. I checked /var/log/security. and /var/log and am continuing in that search.

 

there was an italic folder /mail with file kristi in it - size 0

 

Anyone know where to find these MCC security warnings?

huge tia!!!!!!!!
