The NOREAD and NOWRITE options specify exceptions to the READ and WRITE options or defaults. The following entry permits reading any file except those files in the /etc directory (and its subdirectories—remember, these options are prefixes).
READ=/ NOREAD=/etc WRITE=/var/spool/uucppublic |
This entry 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.
