Programs calcsize and runtar therefore must be installed setuid root. amcheck,dumper,planner: run on the tape server machine and need a privileged network port for secure communication with the clients. killpgrp: is used to kill vendor dump programs that run as root rundump: setuid wrapper for systems that need to run the vendor dump program as root so I think yes these permissions are needed is this info sufficient ? thanks -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
