I'm afraid I missed this comment when I closed the discussion yesterday, but I'm curious why you think so. I'd like to share an example on how system_noshell() compares with posix_spawn() (several people on the alias asked for a real world use case) before taking this off. The attached file includes partial code to implement same functionality (currently using system(3C) in Nevada) with posix_spawn() and system_noshell(), along with the discussed security enhancements. -Sumanth -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
