However, if you can get a user :account on someone's machine and get them to mount your disk... :Guy Harris wants "nosuid" to also mean "nodev" as well. As do I; in fact, I mentioned this solution (actually, I requested a "nospecial") in my origianl CERT report on this. Unfortunately, Sun didn't do this. They also haven't issued a notice to people who might be using it, like their OEMs. After all, it's "fixed" in 4.1; sigh. --tom -- Tom Christiansen tchrist@convex.com convex!tchrist "All things are possible, but not all expedient."
