Re: another /usr/dt/bin/dtappgather feature!

       The problem with DTUSERSESSION was already posted on last
       Feb 24; and by then, the "Solaris dtappgather patch" fixed the
       DTUSERSESSION but not the link (directory permissions) problem,
       which probably is fixed by the other patch on 2.5.x.

       So, at least Solaris 2.6 (sparc) with recent patches is not
       vulnerable.


The problem is patched with both the dtappgather and dtlogin
patches to Solaris 2.5.1/2.6 (and presumably 2.5 as well).

You need to apply both and restart dtlogin.

I'm not sure, but you might even need to rm -rf /var/dt before restarting
dtlogin, but it seems it will fix up the permissions on startup.
