> Nice try, Terry, but since /bin and /usr/bin and all the binaries on the > system are owned by bin, a hosts.equiv might as well allow root access. Not on the systems that we have here that need to be secure, they're not. All system executables and directories are owned by root. And /tmp and /var/tmp are owned by user tmp and group tmp. Paranoia is healthy. Internal systems are setup loose, external systems are screwed down tight. Blatant tautology alert: Just because a system is shipped insecure doesn't mean it has to be left that way. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good
