Is there a way to change a file's name in kernel? Can rename() be used in
kernel thread?
Thanks!

AFAIK, you are really not supposed to do such things. Is it possible?Quote:> Is there a way to change a file's name in kernel? Can rename() be used in

1. change group 0's name from 'root' to 'staff'
Hello,
I run patches Solaris 2.4 on SUN.
I run login from logdaemon-5.6 package which allows
/etc/login.access file which defines access control for users.
I also run s/key su and I have installed unix_scheme.so and these allow su
to root only for users in group 0.
I disabled root's logins via net (only from console) but the problem, when
username didn't match 'root' login searched through group file and found
'root' group.
So I disabled network logins for all people in group root, those who can su
to root. That would be 'nice' for security but it is not.
I thought group '0' can have other name (staff) but will that break
anything ?
- if i change group '0' from 'root' to 'staff', scripts and commands using
setgid (root) and chgrp (root) wouldn't work
- if I add group 0 'staff' after group 'root' I'll have 2 groups with gid 0
which is not complete correct... and I don't know if the second group will
be taken with library functions...
Can anybody help ?
