Hello guys,

I know very little C programming (I learn it in school as it is in class
XII Computer Science syllabus.)

Very recently someone in the mailing list was talking about C programs
in Linux and I felt that I would like to ask you something on that.

Can we make a program that can, own its own change its own terminal and
start working in another?
If this is possible then a virus can check whether in any terminal an
user is logged in as root and can go to that terminal and create a mess
of the system.

I am not asking this question to make a virus though!!
Actually, very often I log in as root in a terminal and log in as user
in the X term and connect to the net.
Is that safe??

regards
arko
