I think the whole idea of autorun is particularly stupid. We've had boot-sector virus problems for oh, 20 years or so. i recommend 1) Don't use it 2) Remvoe all the software from your systems that supports it. I've head there's a small download available for NT that will break into a system with a locked screen/keyboard. You know, the screen saver kicks in, requires user's password to unlock? Or a CD with an autorun program on that kills the screen saver. I don't see why the same think won't work for Linux. Or some spyware could install itself. Be sure to mount cds with noexec, nosuid, and nodev options. Note that on RHL 7.2, "user" implies those options. The default in RHL is "owner" which "is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file." If the client's system is configured this way, autorun simply will not work. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
