Hi all,

I am trying to deny normal users the ability to issue 'finger' and 'who'
commands from their shell. So I changed modes of /var/run/utmp to 640.

But now, when a normal user connects, the shell shows:



/var/run/utmp cannot be opened.  Please "unset watch".



I want this message to be cleared, not shown, while maintaining mode 640
of /var/run/utmp... how is this possible?

Thanks,

Noor
