Re: setuid scripts in SunOS 4.1.x

Judging by the responses I have received to my earlier question about setuid scripts, it seems my question was unclear. I am aware that setuid shell scripts are insecure and tools like perl and/or wrapper programs avoid (most of) the security holes. I don't use any setuid shell scripts and don't intend to. What I would like to do is to _prevent_ any shell scripts that acquire setuid (or setgid) privileges from executing with those privileges. I thought I'd seen a procedure somewhere to patch SunOS 4.1.x, but can't locate it now. --- Peter Jeremy (VK2PJ) peter () titan alcatel oz au Alcatel Australia Limited jeremyp () gsms01 alcatel oz au 41 Mandible St Phone: +61 2 690 5019 ALEXANDRIA NSW 2015 Fax: +61 2 690 5247
