Hi all,

I'm building a system (FreeBSD 4.7) which upon which I
wish the majority of users to only have extremely
limited access to (ie. to be able to telnet
elsewhere).

One of the things I've done is to "chmod o-rwx" most
everything in /bin/ /sbin/ /usr/bin/ /usr/sbin/ and
/usr/libexec/

The only commands that users can access now are
"passwd" and "telnet" as I've changed permissions to
give them "r-x" access to these commands, and also to
/usr/libexec/ld.elf*

The problem I have at present is that users can
telnet, but they cannot issue the passwd command
without getting :-

passwd: permission denied

Does anyone know what other commands passwd may be
trying to execute, or of any way I can 'trace' the
program to see what it's trying to do (I've KTRACE
switched OFF in the kernel and have no intention of
switching it on).

thanks in advance,

Mark Redding.
