You need to create a /etc/security/msec/perm.local file with the correct
ownership and permissions in the format:
        <directory> <owner>.<group> <permissions_in_numeric_form>

Then run msec <level> to effect the change.

See man msec man mseclib and the the article on msec at the
MandrakeSecure website (http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php)
for details.
