Well, I trust Solaris. Simply put. In order to hack into a Solaris box I think that you pretty much have to get through SSH and then somehow drop a kernel module into place or something that can not be tracked with ps, prstat, sar activity or userland activity of any kind. God forbid that I turn on system accounting. Heck, I think you would need to at least have a user account waiting for you other than root because you just can't login to Solaris as root unless you are at the box. By default. Really, I don't know how someone would hack a Solaris box. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
