RE: This should be the new thinkgeek T shirt..



Does anyone know how to modify/verify/check the DST config file on a linux
box v6.2? I am changing all my PC's this evening and we have a linux server
that we compile on.... If the times are different than there will be a major
bardack.... 

Thanks....

regards,
Oren

if you chmod a+x /bin/laden, it means any user can execute /bin/laden.
It doesn't say anything about whether or not /bin/laden can execute
others... If you want to prevent /bin/laden from executing anything
else, take a look into one of those kernel patches which add a firewall-like
feature to system calls (so you can say stuff like "/bin/laden cannot
use exec(), and can only open files in /mnt/afghanistan/").
