Yes 🙂 of course, by editing iprscan/conf/tooldefault.conf. Search for “dirmode” tag and put the dir permissions you want (default is 775). You can change the umask values as well. I would like to have different rights on the session directory to avoid other people looking in it. The rights for the date and session directories are stored in tooldefault.conf file under the “dirmode” tag. Default value for this tag is 777 and the umask is set to 000. So this means that anybody can creates/remove any directory under iprscan/tmp. If you want to protect your session directory, open iprscan.conf, edit “usermode” and put the value you want. If not value is set, iprscan will use the default one stored in tooldefault.conf.
