If you issue it on the controlling tty for this process and you have at least read access, then you won't need extra privileges. But, yes, if you want to do it on someone else's tty, then you'll need all privileges, as it's an escalation threat. I think the safer way to do this (rather than having to hand out all privileges, and assuming I understand the original pconsole case correctly) would be to insert characters by just writing on the master side of the pty. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
