Re: Parsing Login Scripts For Variable Assignment

Not perl but if you are running linux or a bsd, you can compile the shells to disallow the . in path. I think trusted solaris shell kits have this option too.

the Mandatory Access Controls not only allow only programs known to be installed by somone with that clearance to be run, but also would restrict the access of '.' for execution because the other permissions that would need to be on the object. Besides this, I use esh, scsh, zsh and rc! where is parsing for the _alternative_ shells! =)	[reply]

I don't think L~R is able to say where he works but I am pretty sure he has no obligation or ability to support or allow any shells that are not standard. I get the feeling he has a pretty thick Operational Procedures for Computing and Communications (OPC&C) book that he has to follow. Although I could be wrong. -Waswas	[reply]
