Fine. Be hostile -- you're not hurting me. Try any solaris system.
security [4258]> /usr/ucb/cc
/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed
I have gcc, but I don't just link cc to gcc as some systems
seem very broken when they depend on the name of the "cc"
compiler for things.
You know, solaris boot has a check for the current user to be "root"
so if you put another entry in the /etc/passwd *before* root
with uid 0, a solaris system won't boot? Isn't that kind of
pathetic? Why can't the script check "id" or something for
the uid instead of depending on the *text* output of
some user check?
I know you don't see my point.
