Xlock is installed suid root on machines with shadowed passwords. I have verified this on xlock versions on AIX 4.x and Linux (exploit for Linux posted below), but I cannot determine what version I was u...

Hi, I am facing two problems in Linux , if you can help me with these. 1. I have to generate keyboard /mouse interrupt from my program which xlock can recognize so that prompt will appear on it. The interrupt will be generated from a program running at the background. It is required in my project. 2. I have started a program in /usr/bin/startkde, which was necessary at that time only, has the ownership of the user who logged in. I want th...

...ho offered insight to why xscreensaver lock wasn't working. Just this morning I performed a last-minute search, based on some leads, of possible pam configuration issues. One URL that popped up via google was http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs//pam/FAQ Q9 contained a lead to make `which xlock` setuid root (chmod +s). I did this for `which screensaver`, rebooted, and authentication worked! So that was an unexpected change, but documented from a reliable source. I hope this maybe helps someone else who may hit some of the same obstacles as I. A good weekend to all, and stay tuned fo...

Hello, My system died last night apparently due to OOM conditions. Note that I don't have any swap set up, but my understanding is that this is not required. The full log is at: http://pastebin.com/YCYUXWvV. It was in my messages, so I guess the system took a bit to die completely. nouveau is somewhat implicated, as it is the first thing that hits an allocation failure in nouveau_vm_create,

Hello All, As I promised, I've completed and initial patch for openssh PKCS#11 support. The same framework is used also by openvpn. I want to help everyone who assisted during development. This patch is based on the X.509 patch from http://roumenpetrov.info/openssh/ written by Rumen Petrov, supporting PKCS#11 without X.509 looks like a bad idea. *So the first question is: What is the
