Here at rutgers we have a local hack that is called slide. Slide
is a program that can be as simple as
main{}
{
setuid(0);
system(/bin/sh);
}
but ours makes a call to use your default shell (above is a simple
sample).
This program is owned by root and in group slide. This is your
/etc/group you have a non-loginable (is that a real word??) group
called slide. Your system adminastrators, sysprogs, operators all
are in group slide. When they type slide they start up a new root
shell. A simple ^D and they are back to there normal shells. Real
simple and easy.
