Anonymous Coward User ID: 540686 Netherlands 01/23/2010 03:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If a user has access to a sudo password, they could destroy the operating system. It is a security risk. I an not an idiot, I was just pointing out a security risk using the sudo command. Take a pill or try decaff, geez. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 776788Yep, windoze has the same flaw. If you have the adminstrator password you can destroy the disk, so what's your point? btw... a good admin places his sys files on a seperate partition. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 833919 United States 01/23/2010 04:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Was Linux written from scratch or did Linus use the UNIX code to build it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 776788Linux started from Minix, below is Linus's beginning Linux email. -------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] (Linus Benedict Torvalds) Newsgroups: comp.os.minix Subject: What would you like to see most in minix? Summary: small poll for my new operating system Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: 25 Aug 91 20:57:08 GMT Organization: University of Helsinki Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus ([email protected]) PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(. [link to www.linfo.org] |
