Verdict is unanimous (although not real specific but neither was I). Some where I have left something out of the chroot environment the libraries are likely culprits. I'll have to try again. -----Original Message----- From: Petersen, Dwight [mailto:Dwight_Petersen@intuit.com] Sent: Sunday, July 07, 2002 8:42 PM To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: Solaris & SVR4 login features I am a little short of success trying to implement a feature of SVR4 mentioned by Garfinkel & Spafford in Practical UNIX Security. (p 254). This feature allows setting up a restricted environment by putting an asterisk in field 7 of the password entry which causes /bin/login to call chroot with the contents of field 6 of the password file. Using the intructions for setting up anonymous ftp for a loose guide, and abandoning CDE, and that sort of thing, I am successful to the point that /bin/login executes the chroot and announces the location for the new root. Shortly there after, I get a malloc error. This I have not been able to get around. Does anyone use this feature? Or know how to use it. I will, of course, post a summary.
