Hi Guru,

There is a utility called rtelnet kept in
usr/annex/ dir.
-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 81920 Jul 1 1998 rtelnet

you can see the owner group and permission. Our one of the application is using this utility to start the application process.
My questiion is , can this utility be started by application owner , or only root can start this utility.

Regards

Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Any user can execute this command (rtelnet) because it's has permission 155 which enable everybody to start this.

Hi Mohan,

If I remember correctly, 'rtelnet' is used to connect to Annex terminal servers. It's not available by default with the HP-UX OS. Since the permissions are set to 555, it can be executed by other users.
