hi all, correct me if i am wrong.. but.. do you think, if we denied a shutdown after an su(1) to root from a non-privileged user would be good...
i tried this same thing at home.. i builded it and installed it.. works fine for me... the patch below will allow a shutdown only be logging into root itself and not by issuing an su(1) command to root. this would be very good, i think if someone broke into a normal user and was able to gain access into root using su... (without a password..) i am submitting a tar.gz file, which has the patch for the shutdown.8 manpage, and shutdown.c located at.. src/sbin/shutdown.c... thanks... ===== regards, Hiten Pandya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://geocities.com/hitmaster2k> ---------------------------------------------------- Guys!... stay away from Einstein Junior! ---------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
