Indeed... you're right there's no more any access to drakperm in the MCC
! and it's replaced now by MSEC GUI handling it

I remembered  having used drakperm in old Mandriva until 2008.1
In the MCC of Mandriva 2008.1 we could still  access to it (see attached
snapshot : it's the icon on upper right corner)

and it disappeared in Mandiva 2010.1 (I never had to use it then and I
didn't notice it was no more here)

drakperm still exists and can be launched from a console as root... but
I don't know if it's still useable... and useful ?
I think MSEC may overwrite the modifications applied by drakperm

Regards
Philippe
