How to remove group write bit?
I know this may sound little incomplete but this is what i read on some linux hardening guide.I dont have any clue on how to remove group's write bit.
I m posting the exact sentence of the hardening guide.
Quote:
The group write bit should removed from all system files that do not explicitly require it to be enabled
What all system files to be taken care of?
