1) what are the risks of using such a mecanism ? How can we be sure that this "pt_chmod" is secure ?
You have got to be kidding! This is exactly what the list has been all afire with the last few days. Wake up!
Sure, but I tried to send this mail 10 days ago, long before the discussion about pt_chmod starts ! Due to the recent bugtraq ML problems, I had to send a mail to Kevin to get a solution for posting my mail. Too late, but remember that my question about pt_chmod was related to non SUID xterm usage under Solaris. Hmmm... a really strange coincidence indeed !!! What about the SunOS xterm's tty "vulnerability" ? Does Sun Microsystems provide a patch ? # Gillus --------
