| FilipeMendes | any way to avoid having users running perl? I need specify who can or who can not |
| dondelelcaro | FilipeMendes: uh… why? |
| FilipeMendes | security purposes |
| mauke | haha |
| mauke | chmod 0 /usr/bin/perl |
| dondelelcaro | question repeated, with more emphasis and incredulity |
| FilipeMendes | i want specify some users |
| Caelum | FilipeMendes: why would you not want users running perl? |
| FilipeMendes | chmod wouldnt be useful |
| dkr | FilipeMendes: chmod 750 /usr/bin/perl; chgrp leet /usr/bin/perl; and put the leet people in that group ? |
| FilipeMendes | hmmm |
| dondelelcaro | you realize that any user who wants can just stick their own perl executable there? |
| go|dfish | FilipeMendes: ACL , maybe. |
| dkr | also your system scripts might rely on it |
| dondelelcaro | (and probably all of the users actually end up using perl?) |
| dkr | modify the perl code to have it exit based on checking a uid whitelist. :) |
| dkr | change the name to something obscure only the cool people know |
| mauke | _perl |
| dkr | realize that removing tools does not remove abilities and give up |
| mauke | the _ means it's private! |
| dkr | mauke: :D |
