README for LINKPATH =================== LINKPATH is a program that can be used to test the security of $INFORMIXDIR, the chunks that a server uses, and any other file you are interested in. Usage: linkpath [-adhsvV][-u user][-g group] file [...] -a Process absolute names -d Print diagnostic output -g group Treat user as trusted -h Print this help message and exit -s Security check directories -u user Treat user as trusted -v Verbose mode -V Print version and exit If you're not already aware of where they are, on Solaris, it is interesting to use linkpath to track down where /bin/sh, /dev/null and /usr/lib/libc.so are really located. It compiles out of the box on the versions of Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and MacOS X that I've been able to lay hands on.
