- lsof was written by Victor A. Abell of Purdue University,
- <abe@cc.purdue.edu>, and is distributed with permission.
-
- lsof is Copyright 1995 Purdue Research Foundation
-
- This is a source + binary distribution of lsof 3.37. It was built by
- Bela Lubkin of SCO, <belal@sco.com>, on 95/07/28.
-
- Methods used:
-
- The files README, Victor_A_Abell.pgp, and lsof_3.37_W.tar.gz were
- obtained via ftp from <ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof>.
- The tar file was extracted, giving a sources tar file, an inner
- README, and a PGP signature file. md5 was used to verify that the
- sources tar file's sum matched that given in the inner README file.
- PGP 2.6.0 was used to verify the PGP signature.
-
- Once the sources were verified, they were extracted on a system
- running SCO OpenServer Release 5 Enterprise System plus the SCO
- OpenServer Release 5 Development System. The lsof binary was built by
- running "Configure sco; make".
-
- The binary was compiled without HASSECURITY=1. This means that any user
- with execute permission may list the files in use by all processes on
- the system. The program can also be built with HASSECURITY=1 (in
- machine.h), in which case user may only examine the files in use by
- processes which they own.
-
- The binary may be installed in /usr/bin or a local binaries directory,
- with world-execute permissions and setgid mem, like this:
-
- ---x--s--x 1 bin mem 95356 Jul 28 17:25 /local/bin/lsof
-
- It could also be installed so that it can only be executed by members of
- a specific privileged group, in which case it must be setuid root, e.g.:
-
- ---s--x--- 1 root admin 95356 Jul 28 17:25 /local/bin/lsof
-
- The source is provided as a gzip-compressed tar archive as well as a
- laid-out directory tree. The laid-out directory tree has been pruned to
- remove non-SCO dialect files, to reduce storage requirements on the
- CD-ROM. The entire distribution, supporting all the Unix dialects
- supported by lsof, is present in the compressed archive. However, it is
- strongly recommended that you retrieve the most recent version of the
- source from its canonical home at
