Hello,
Are there any security holes associated with making the talk
program the shell of a potentially public account? The
shell would be /usr/bin/talk <user>, with /usr/bin/talk
listed in the /etc/shells file. Is there a potential for
environment-style breakins?
TIA,
Justin Dobbs <jrd@Max.stark.k12.oh.us>
