Also init scripts often allow non-root daemons to have access to the same tty that is used for the sysadmin shell. That means if an attacker can compromise a daemon at startup (EG replace programs it runs at start before detaching from the tty) then they can push characters into the root keyboard buffer. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
