Hi everyone,
I wish to know the effects of dialing to the internet (ppp) as root. Is it a
security loophole ? If so in what way ?
I guess the dialer (like wvdial or minicom) just starts pppd, which always runs
as root. So does the uid of the dialer make any issue ?
Can anyone clear my doubt pls ?
thanx
