Hello, xcd (CD_Player for CDE users), used for playing of audio CDs "has a side effect of making xcd's eject button always work, even when the hardware eject switch is locked." I would like to add : Even when a cdfs filesystem is mounted. Even when a file reading is in progress (cp, ls, find etc.). Until the system is up. The author of the program considerated this as a feature. (See the source code is available into /usr/example/motif/xcd directory.) By default, you do NOT need to be root for using this command. Exploit : eject a mounted CD-ROM with xcd, insert another CDROM and ls -R into CDROM directory. The system will crash. DEC is informed about this problem. Workaround : "chmod" or "setld -d". :) Alex ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
