--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtuc...@dtucker.net> --- (In reply to Mayank Sharma from comment #0) [...] > If I changed modes permission from 600 to 620 and run the same wall > command, then in such case it was not throwing any error message. That implies that /usr/sbin/wall is setgid? If so wha are the permissions on /usr/sbin/wall and the pts devices? On my (admittedly obsolete) AIX 5.1 system wall is not setgid, although it's possible I changed it some time in the past: $ ls -l /usr/sbin/wall -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12720 Jan 15 2003 /usr/sbin/wall $ ls -l /dev/pts/{0,100} crw------- 1 dtucker system 28, 0 Jun 01 13:41 /dev/pts/0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root system 28,100 Jul 03 2003 /dev/pts/100 > Therefore , i would like to know whether these mode changes are made > intentionally or it is possible to rectify it ? Restricting the permissions was deliberate. If there's a specific group that's the equivalent of "tty" on AIX then we could potentially use that and end up with mode 0620 pty devices. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
