I know there is a lot of registry reading, but I'm guessing not writing. My desire is is to make a user that can complete a scan, but will pose minimal other risks. on unix, it doesn't appear possible to limit the command set much, as most of it appears to be running through /bin/sh (run a sudo scan and check your logs) -- Doug Nordwall Unix, Network, and Security Administrator You mean the vision is subject to low subscription rates?!!? - Scott Stone, on MMORPGs
