oooh, sounds like a candidate for a drush extension.<br><br>See <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush">http://drupal.org/project/drush</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/drush_extras">http://drupal.org/project/drush_extras</a><br>
<br>In its version two in Drupal 6, for example, drush exists entirely outside of Drupal, so on a production server with several different sites, or on your own development box or testing machine, you can install once and run many times.<br>
<br>Moreover, it is not a module, but a self-contained system. And the cool part is that in your home user directory you can store easy-to-write extensions, starting with drush_extras (./home/drush).<br><br>Victor Kane<br>

permissions to make sure the site was secure, I got to thinking about<br>
how to automate this process. I started by writing a script to take<br>
care of this, but eventually I thought a Drupal module might be the<br>
way to go. The module could provide a hook, say hook_file_security,<br>
that would take an array of files names and their suggested security<br>
parameters. This could work very similar to the updates module<br>
providing information on the admin/reports/status page and an<br>
admin/reports/file-security page that displayed all installed modules,<br>
their files, the suggested security settings, and the current security<br>
settings.<br>
<br>
Well, that is the base idea I had. I think something like this would<br>
really help new users of Drupal and I'm pretty sure it's possible<br>
since the installation script reports on the security settings of the<br>
files directory and the settings.php file. Any thoughts, ideas,<br>
suggestions are welcome.<br>
<br>
