FYI -- Raju ---------------- Hi! Sorry if somebody has noticed this before or is only a stupid remark, but a few days ago I found that you can kill vlock (and similar programs that lock all linux consoles) with the alt+sysrq+k key combination on LiNUX 2.2.X and 2.3.X (if you enabled magic keys when you compiled the kernel) so someone could bypass the console locking and althought he cannot access the session where vlock was ejecuted (because it has been killed), he can access the other posibly opened sessions on other consoles. So, if you have enabled the magic keys, using "vlock -a" is not secure!. -- Saludos del General... _______ _ .-.-. .-. .-.---.---. --------- Coordinador de LiMA ------= --- ( ____ ) \| | | | | | | ) _ ) Asociaci=F3n de usuarios de LiNUX de M= =E1laga | |_ / _ \ | |_| \_/ | \ _) http://iaeste.cie.uma.es/lima | _ )/_/ \_\|___)\___/|_|\_\___) --------------------------------------= --- | |Correo-E: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LiNUX Reg.
