Hi, folks –
Do you know of a truly secure, read-only editor/file viewer which would be appropriate for use with sudo? Something which acts in a similar fashion to vi?
rvi disallows shell escapes, but you can still write out files. view/rview still allows writes with “w!”.
Any ideas are appreciated. So far, I’ve found a shell script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
cat $1 | MORE="-c" SHELL="/dev/null" /usr/bin/more
Which is good, but I was wondering if there were another way to do this ...
