Hello.
I think I see the problem with regard to setuid programs and nfs.
It's in the kernel.
It's in the file kernel-source-2.0.27/fs/nfs/proc.c.
Alas the same code is repeated in several places, so I'm not sure how to
fix it: there must be a reason for exact this coding.
Does anybody here know

xwd will grab the data. It's then an issue of converting the format
to one you like (netpbm package is usually the answer for this sort of
thing).

You may wanna try the following:

You can then use xv to convert the image to a more
common format, say jpeg or gif.

Ok. I'm trying to write a simple program which calls fork().
the fork() manpage lists it as
pid_t fork(void);
from .
So I do this:
#include
int main() {
pid_t p;
p = fork;
}
and gcc complains "pid_t" undeclared. The only
/usr/include/*.h declaration I can find for "pid_t" is actually "__pi

Change shell for the users you want to forbid telnetting to /bin/true
and add the line "/bin/true" into /etc/shells file.
