But please don't do this for the "admin" or "root" user unless you enjoy getting hacked.... Allowing or even "asking" for commands to be run from ANY directory that you happen to be in is very dangerous. EG: customer installs script called "ls" that simply does a suid (set root uid) execute bit on another script and then executes the real "ls" command. You would never even know you just gave that person root access to your server.... -- Larry Smith SysAd ECSIS.NET [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Cobaltfacts site list [email protected] http://list.cobaltfacts.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/cobaltfacts
