For our own use, we have rewritten DPfix in Ada so that we have complete source code for this tool. (DPfix by Radim "EliCZ" Picha changes the erratic ACL so that it allows access for SYSTEM only.) As of now, we have not encountered any side effects in our setup. Our tool is slightly more general (you have to pass the process and object name on the command line), and it does not require any user interaction, so it is suitable for startup scripts. Further information, full Ada source code, and a precompiled binary is available at: http://CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE/people/fw/tools/chsystem/ -- Florian Weimer Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE University of Stuttgart http://CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE/people/fw/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
