Properties	• Property: priv_uid_list

A list of system-level user IDs.

This list should contain those users that are considered to have elevated access to the system. Removing any of these means that the creation of a world writable ﬁle owned by one of those users will not be detected by this template.

•Property: pathnames_to_not_watch

Pathnames of ﬁles that can be safely ignored if they are made world writable.

•Properties: pathnames_X, programs_X

These properties can be used to ﬁlter out alerts generated when a particular program creates a particular world writable ﬁle. See “Type II: Pathnames/Programs Pairs” on page 130 for a detailed description of these property pairs.
