It doesn't really explain *why* more does what it does. I did some poking around and here's the real reason...more can run external commands just like vi. If its running an external command, it needs to read stdin for the results of the command and use stdout for writing the results but needs a 3rd descriptor for user scrolling commands. stderr is the one it uses. Bizarre reason in my opinion. I'm ok with opening to read/write perms. -Steve -- redhat-lspp mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-lspp
