Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 19:46:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Roscinante <rosc@fbn.globalent.net> To: linux-security@tarsier.cv.nrao.edu In-Reply-To: <199609191334.JAA00470@tarsier.cv.nrao.edu> I did it! I castrated it! ;) I hacked cfinger to no longer need root.. I just went thru and replaced nearly every instance of 'root' with 'nobody'... There's one routine in main.c that attempts to renice -20 cfingerd, I changed that to 1.. I seems to have broken the 'no root finger' but fuggit, I'm not a coder, I just mangle other peoples' code :) I wouldn't know how to make diffs, but I'll be glad to put the whole src up for grabs. The src I'm using is the 1.2.3 version, I'm going to make my changes to the 1.3.0 src, see if I can fix the no-root-finger thingy, and then tar it all up and put it on sunsite (unless someone advises against it ;) I had made another change previously with cfinger, I don't think I mentioned yet. cfinger is supposed to use its own 'userlist' program, which just happens to want to be installed suid-root! I changed userlist.c to use ordinary 'finger' (simple substitution here too, just change "userlist" to "finger" and change the display string a bit to match the output header).. If any real coders care to help my feeble hacking, please let me know! :) ~~ All that is gold does not glitter.. .
