Dear Sun Managers,

I've searched thru the archive and couldn't find
anything on my questions.

My security administrator has told me that it may be a
security loop hole for the following files in
/devices/pesudo directory. He would want me to remove
the world read and write for the following files.

crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 39 Dec 12 2002
ptsl@0:ttyr7
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 40 Dec 12 2002
ptsl@0:ttyr8
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 41 Dec 12 2002
ptsl@0:ttyr9
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 42 Dec 12 2002
ptsl@0:ttyra
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 43 Dec 12 2002
ptsl@0:ttyrb
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 26, 44 Dec 12 2002

I would like to find out from you guys what would be
the implication and what would be the impact if I
remove the permission. Is it advisable to do so? BTW,
the machine I'm having is a E10K.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Tim
