Hi, It never occurs to me that I am able to mess with files that I'm not allowed to touch, but watch this:
$ echo good > safe $ chmod a-w safe $ cat safe good $ ln safe unsafe $ chmod a+w unsafe $ echo bad > unsafe $ cat safe bad I.e., I am able to change the content of the file that is read only to me. So, I am start to wondering, what mechanism will prevent me from doing something more bad to this, e.g., change system files that I'm not allowed to touch? thank ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
