McAfee Linux HBSS

So, you have a STIG'ed box, and McAfee av won't install.  The problem is the umask of 077. The installer id supposed to temporarily set the umask to 022 the /opt/NAI directory,  but due to the stigging, it won't let it. Temp fix. Add to the first lines of the Mcafee-installer script. 

Mkdir /opt/NAI
Chmod 755 /opt/NAI

That will allow for install.  At the bottom of the installer add nails:nailsgroup to an group with elevated permissions. 

Hope this helps.
