There seems to be some problem with following my exploit. I don't know if I'm running different patch versions or what, but interstingly enough, I tried the exploit again this morning, and chost (and most of the other programs in that directory) refused to run, giving errors along the lines of "unable to contact objectserver". I checked and there was only one copy of objectserver running. When I rebooted, 2 copies were running, and all the programs acted as normal. So, to summarise, here is my system's configuration: --- Script started on Wed Aug 7 10:03:11 1996 /usr/Cadmin/bin>ls -l chost cimport -rwsr-xr-x 1 root sys 232160 Aug 29 1995 chost -rwsr-xr-x 1 root sys 161896 Aug 29 1995 cimport /usr/Cadmin/bin>uname -a IRIX ebi 5.3 11091812 IP22 mips /usr/Cadmin/bin>chost Error is 5(Permission Denied) Error is 5(Permission Denied) /usr/Cadmin/bin>^D script done on Wed Aug 7 10:04:07 1996 --- Notice that I also get the (Permission Denied) "error", but the exploit still works fine. Try the exploit for cimport, it follows the same principle: --- /usr/Cadmin/bin/cimport New OK OK Cancel double-click any of the mounted filesystems to bring up the desktopManager --- I think this will only work if you are nfs-mounting filesystems, as I don't know if there's another way to bring up desktopManager. -- Grant -- http://www.cs.uct.ac.za/~gkaufman/pgp.html
