Hello. Quoting from Garrett A. Wollman (Wed Sep 6 23:02:50 1995): > As for `logger', it's a useful tool that anyone could write if it did > not exist before. People running public-access systems should do the > same thing to `logger' as they do to `cc', `as', and `ld'. And cat and ftp... I can compile logger on another FreeBSD machine and then import it in my personal ~/bin on the PA host. If you run a PA system, you alread have NO security. If you give your users a restricted shell, you aren't running a useful service any more.
