While running cops on a newly installed Sparcstation SLC, I noticed the following files were shipped as world writable: /etc/aliases.dir /etc/aliases.pag /etc/mtab /etc/remote /etc/sm /etc/sm.bak /etc/state /etc/utmp Is there a good reason for any of these files to be world writable, or can I restrict access? Thanks for your help. [[Ed's Note: I don't see any problems restricting access access (at least to only group and owner writable). Sun is notorious for the "secure" network mode of shipping Suns. You might want to check your /etc/hosts.equiv file while you're at it. :) -bdg]] Bruce Klein brucek@emperor.scs.com ...uunet!emperor!brucek (408) 371 2900
