Keywords: csh(1), Domain/IX, kill

On an generic 4.2 system, kill will not allow you to signal processes that
you do not own; however, under DOMAIN/IX (SR9.5) I seem to be able to kill
any process that I choose (even processes owned by root !!!). Is there any way
to turn off kill in the c-shell ??? Is this a bug in DOMAIN/IX ??? Is there
a way around this problem other than giving remote users an AEGIS shell ??

(n.b. acls on sigp and /bin/kill have been set so that only members of our
'organization' can execute them)

Any help is much appreciated. Thanx.

                                                         Adam
