Thanks to Neil D Quiogue and Luc I. Suryo for their responses which led to one solution to this problem. Setting the screen binary to be suid root (chmod u+s) will prevent this problem from occurring. I'm not totally comfortable with the security implications of doing so, but I've now found other postings of people using a suid screen to overcome other problems. For example, many Linux admins seem okay with setting screen suid root to allow utmp updates to work properly. I trust our user base, but suid root programs just make me a bit nervous. I'd still appreciate hearing from other Solaris admins about this, but it seemed like a good idea to post this solution. -Sam --- Sam Storie Database Administrator Rosemount Incorporated Emerson Process Management _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Dec 28 17:24:47 2004
