ppp-off.txt

`Hi,  
  
In SlackWare Linux the script /usr/bin/ppp-off writes the output of 'ps x'   
to /tmp/grep.tmp  
Since root is the user that runs ppp-off, a non-privileged user could create   
a link from /tmp/grep.tmp to any file (ie: /etc/issue), thus when root runs   
the ppp-off script, the output of 'ps x' would be put in the linked file.   
The fix would be to replace every instance of /tmp/grep.tmp in the ppp-off   
script to something along the line of /root/grep.tmp  
  
Take care,  
sinfony
