So, I finally got around to working on that patch to my (recently
advertised) mntflop utility to prevent it from mounting trojan floppies
with special files on them.
After mounting the disc, I fork/exec "ncheck -s" and watch the output.
Problem is, this takes awhile, and there's nothing to stop someone from
kill -9'ing the process and leaving the disc mounted.
Any suggestions?
What's really needed is what one person reported hpux does: mounting
nosuid also disables special files.
