So, I finally got around to working on that patch to my (recently advertised) mntflop utility to prevent it from mounting trojan floppies with special files on them. After mounting the disc, I fork/exec "ncheck -s" and watch the output. Problem is, this takes awhile, and there's nothing to stop someone from kill -9'ing the process and leaving the disc mounted. Any suggestions? What's really needed is what one person reported hpux does: mounting nosuid also disables special files. John
