I was messing arround with sudo when i found out that you can check to see if there is a file that can be exec'd by root, even if you don't have the privlages. IE: You can check to see if there is a program, in the root path, that you can't see (maybe can and its just easyer to do it this way). The normal way to use sudo is 'sudo command' and it asks you for your password, you put it in and it exec's as root, you get it wrong and it doesnt.... Try sudo <command that doesnt exist>, it says: sudo.bin: fdsa: command not found So? you say, well, you can check to see if there is something to play with that root has hidden.... Take a look at these: (rhodie@is-so) [~]$ sudo fdsa sudo.bin: fdsa: command not found (rhodie@is-so) [~]$ sudo id Password: Heh, isn't that purty? ------------------------------- Get your own rhoide too!
