McCalpin) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: /usr/bin/under Message-ID: Date: 28 Feb 91 20:33:37 GMT Sender: usenet@ee.udel.edu Distribution: usa Organization: College of Marine Studies, U. Del. Lines: 13 Nntp-Posting-Host: perelandra.cms.udel.edu I was doing a routine security check on my machine after I observed some suspicious activity, and I found a file '/usr/bin/under' which is set up to setuid to root. I could not find documentation for this file. Does it belong there? I also found '/usr/bin/X11/xterm' set up as setuid to root. Do I lose any functionality by turning this 'feature' off? Thanks for any help! -- John D. McCalpin mccalpin@perelandra.cms.udel.edu Assistant Professor mccalpin@brahms.udel.edu College of Marine Studies, U. Del. J.MCCALPIN/OMNET
