NOREAD and NOWRITE Options

The NOREAD and NOWRITE options specify exceptions to the READ and WRITE options or defaults. The entry:


READ=/ NOREAD=/etc WRITE=/var/spool/uucppublic 

permits reading any file except those in the /etc directory (and its subdirectories--remember, these are prefixes). It permits writing only to the default /var/spool/uucppublic directory. NOWRITE works in the same manner as the NOREAD option. You can use the NOREAD and NOWRITE options in both LOGNAME and MACHINE entries.
