Yes, yes, of course, but you cause a SIGSEGV on that thing, and what will you get? Parent process's SHELL. Which again is a regular Joe Blow user. Will that user get a DELL from behind? He *might*. Maybe. On a system with 100 or 700 users, the system is still uncompromised. Still, with all that, I have to ask: is there an virus killer specifically written for Solaris out there? Or are all those solutions virus killers that run on Solaris, but check for Windows virii?
