First let me say I'm not a security weanie, I just want to satisfy my own curiosity about these issues. Second, if these have been brought up before, like in the past couple months, I missed it. Third, please don't tell me to RTFM. I just don't have the time to learn all about every topic that comes down the pike. It seems like denying another user the services of a shared PS printer would be as simple as writing an infinite loop. On some systems it's impossible to determine who submitted a given job. Aren't there ways to change the definition of functions semipermanently? Could one write a program that would in some way alter the output of subsequent jobs? How about a hack to copy the next print job to disk? Surely there's some way to prevent such things from happening. -- Dave Sill (dsill@relay.nswc.navy.mil)
