I am sorry it was a typo the os is as follows. SCO_SV unixdev 3.2 5.0.5 i386 $ ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/tclerror.1195.log $ ls -al /tmp/tclerror.1195.log lrwxrwxrwx 1 kevin supp 11 May 23 13:47 /tmp/tclerror.1195.log -> /etc/passwd Matt Schalit <mschalit@pac To: Richard Johnson <thiefat_private> bell.net> cc: bugtraqat_private, "Recon@Snosoft.

I'm sure they would prefer that you call them by their correct name, the Santa Cruz Operation, or simple SCO. The SCO server division has been acquired by Caldera, and www.sco.com now points you to Caldera, for those of you who may not know. SCO has two OS lines that have the following release history: UnixWare OpenServer ------------------ -------------------------- ... ... Unixware 2.1.2 Unix System 5 Release 3.2v4.0 Unixware 2.1.3 Unix System 5 Release 3.2.4.2 Unixware 7.0.0 OpenServer 5.0.0 Unixware 7.0.1 OpenServer 5.0.2 Unixware 7.1.0 OpenServer 5.0.4 Unixware 7.1.1 <-- Current OpenServer 5.0.5 OpenServer 5.0.6 <--- Current. I spent about 15 minutes searching the net and the ng's for any reference to a "UnixWare 5" or a "UnixWare 5.x" that you refer to with no success. Would you please clarify for the rest of us exactly what OS you see this problem with. Please include the output of uname -a > .: Proof of Concept > ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/tclerror.1195.log This doesn't work on UnixWare 7.1.1. $ ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/tclerror.1195.log UX:ln: ERROR: Cannot create /tmp/tclerror.1195.log: Not privileged Regards, Matthew Schalit SCO ACE, Maintainer of the Uw7 FAQ.
