Does anybody know if there is a way to programmatically determine what what level of security Ultrix 4 is using? I can't seem to find one. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Roth, University of Wisconsin Physical Sciences Laboratory email: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu bill@wiscpsl.bitnet / (608)-873-6651

I can't seem to find one. Grep for 'SECLEVEL' in the file /etc/svc.conf. It will be one of: SECLEVEL=BSD SECLEVEL=UPGRADE SECLEVEL=ENHANCED

The getsvc(3) call returns a pointer to an svcinfo struct, which in turn
contains a struct named svcauth which contains the security level. Here's a
sample program which uses it:
#include <sys/svcinfo.h>
main()
{
struct svcinfo *svc;
svc = getsvc();
switch (svc->svcauth.seclevel) {
case SEC_BSD:
printf("Security level is BSD\n");
break;
case SEC_UPGRADE:
printf("Security level is UPGRADE\n");
break;
case SEC_ENHANCED:
printf("Security level is ENHANCED\n");
break;
default:
printf("Unknown security level - check /etc/svc.conf\n");
}
}
