NAME

dev.chk - Checks writability of devices and special files.

SYNOPSIS

dev.chk [ -g ]

DESCRIPTION

dev.chk checks the permissions of /dev/mem, /dev/kmem, and all devs listed in the file /etc/fstab for readibility/writeability (the mount command would be a preferable way of getting the file system name, but the syntax of the output is variable from machine to machine), and flags them if they are readable by using the is_readable command, unless they are NFS mounted, in which case they are ignored. It also checks for unrestricted exported NFS filesystems in /etc/exports.

options are:

-g: Check for group writability as well as world.

FILES

/etc/fstab /etc/exports
