Del More) Distribution: usa Organization: uBBS-NH (New England Unix Archive) - Nashua, NH Lines: 29 I've a need to restrict access to certain portions of my system, the most obvious choice was to use "rsh" as a shell for the users I wished to restrict. However, SCO has coded "/bin:/usr/bin" as the a default path into the shell itself. Really dumb, the usrs .profile will not over ride the default path. So, the question, is their a cure, fix, patch available, or is their an alternative? Many thanks! Noel P.S. Hey Russ! How long does it take a user with a restricted shell to get out of it? About 2 seconds flat.... try $cshgeeez! -- Noel B. Del More | decvax!ubbs-nh!noel 17 Meredith Drive | noel@ubbs-nh.mv.com Nashua, New Hampshire 03063 | It's unix me son! `taint spozed tah make cents
