Message-ID: <16847@netcom.UUCP> Date: 15 Nov 90 07:25:48 GMT References: Organization: Netcom- The Bay Area's Public Access Unix System {408 241-9760 guest} Lines: 17 I've found that the easiest (!) way of deterministically discovering what is going on is to run find and save the output, make your change via sysadmsh, run find again, then diff the output to see what changed. The format of /tcb/files/auth/z/zzz is termcap-format, I believe, and I remember seeing the field descriptions somewhere; probably either the ADMIN *Reference* (not the *guide*) or maybe the system include files. The whole thing's pretty annoying, if you ask me... Ever since I found out that if you are running as suid root and the files you create (from a shell at least) aren't root-owned, I've been suspicious of everything. Hope they finish GNU soon...
