hi, this is rather silly and obvious, but i couldn't find anything in seaching the old archives on geek-girl.com. problem: under solaris, scsi tape devices (/dev/rmt/*, which are linked to the st@x,x: devs in /devices) are created with the permissions bits set to 666. this allows a mallicious user with a login on your system to 'mt erase' the contents of any tape devices connected to your system. solution: this is a tough one. i'll let you figure it out yourself. ~josh --- josh grubman / http://false.net/~jg "if you don't ask, i won't upset you"
