COMMAND
/dev/zero
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
SunOS (from Sparc1 to Sparc10)
PROBLEM
Walter Hafner posted about following "/dev" problem. Try
following:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/keyboard
No special rights required. Anything from a Sparc1 to a Sparc10
under SunOS is dead.
SOLUTION
These sorts of things are easily taken care of with /etc/fbtab on
SunOS4 and /etc/logindevperm on Solaris2. Any framebuffer,
keyboard, mouse, audio device, etc should have an entry here to
prevent these sorts of pranks.
In your /etc/fbtab make sure you have the keyboard set to 0600
permission under the line:
# Uncomment the following entries to enable window system security
/dev/console 0600 /dev/kbd:/dev/mouse
