Umm... not that I know of. How would you expect cron to know this?
Same way sendmail knows to ignore .forwards in world-writable
directories....
All it has is a list of times and commands to run. Now this list is
stored in a directory/file which should be locked down pretty well.
Yes, but the commands it runs can be anywhere... World-readable is
probably not too worrisome. World-_writable_ is another story.
Scott, are you sure you don't mean world-writeable?
Hi Dean:
Yes - a followup email from me pointed out the error/confusion of many :-)
I am looking to try and prevent cron from running jobs or executables in
world-writable directories, or subdirectories of world-writable
directories.
Thanks for any leads.
Scott
