- I think I may have found a large problem with 'rm' as it comes in the
- SLS distribution.
- Logged in as *anyone* I can delete *almosy any file* with the rm
- command, it just comes up and asks 'override mode 0600' or whatever
- and away it goes! I was able to delete copies of my passwd and inittab
- in the /etc dir using the guest login....very annoying, now disabled!
- Anyone know whats going on with rm and where I can get the source to
- recompile it fixed!
