Does anyone know of a way to pipe a file to more and disallow a user from
invoking a subshell while More is running?
Here's the senario, I have a menu that allows certain users to have root access
to several functions (unjamming the print queue, archiving & restoring files,
etc). One of the options is to allow the user to get a listing of a tape
archive to the screen (piped through More) which of course allows the user to
type a '!sh<return>' and viola! a root shell.
Is there a hidden option to more? Or another version or maybe an alias name,
like page to make more act a little differently?
As always thanks in advance!
