Does anyone know of a clean fix for the following problem:
I have an A/UX system that I am planning on allowing serial-port access
to so that others may log in. (I may also allow rlogin, telnet if I get
a network connection)
Unfortunately, toolbox-based programs are runnable by anyone who is
logged in. This can cause problems if I am trying to use the Mac
monitor/keyboard as the console terminal. If some other user runs
/usr/toolboxbin/term,... I get a terminal window for THEIR account on
MY screen. Other programs could do more destructive things (like
program my mouse to send 'rm -r /' to the console when the program
exits)
Does anyone have any ideas?
