yes, davide.
mandrake 9.2 has msec installed. something very similar to tripwire.
i am having an interesting discussion in Xchat on
kornbluth.freenode.net channel #Mandrake.
here's an excerpt:
cmyk: i think.. if a normal user can execute a app that only root can..
thats bad..
<Roobarb-Work> SUID means it runs with root privilages. if someonr
hacks your mail server, they have root.
<cmyk> hrm...
<cmyk> are you 100% sure about that?
<Redgore> he is right
<cmyk> poll?
<cmyk> :)
<noaxess> cmyk: they are right..
<cmyk> shut up. you have no axess... :-b
<noaxess> :)
<cmyk> ok. i'll reformulate my qustion then...
<cmyk> what could i do, that xmail wouldn't need to run that scritp as
root?
what do you say about all this?
cheers,
phil
