I have been informed by security that the binary /kernel/genunix is a
security risk as its permissions are world readable and executable which
would allow anyone to build a kernel.
I have found the infodoc 24473 which explains the boot up procedure but
does not mention the file /kernel/genunix I thought it was read as part of
the boot up ? Additionally I did not think the Solaris kernel could be
built I thought it was a static kernel which loaded dynamic modules for
appropriate hardware, etc. Could anyone provide a reference/link which
confirms this or shows that I do not know what I am talking about ?
Much appreciated I can not seem to find anything which explains this.
