Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 - 'ls' green for root user only Post 302930070 by TiedCone on Tuesday 30th of December 2014 06:48:39 AM
Old 12-30-2014
Code:
type ls

in root gives me
Code:
ls is aliased to ls -F

only, nothing more.
Code:
ls -l /usr/bin/l*;sum /usr/bin/ls;uname -a

gives me 18700 JUN 11 2008
Code:
grep usr/bin/ls /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsu/save/pspool/SUNWcsu/pkgmap | awk '{ print $8 }'

gives 18700
Code:
truss -t\!all -tstat -vstat ls /usr/bin/stat

mt = JUN 11 2008
If mt stands for modified time above shows that ls has not been modified for years.

Code:
echo $0

in root gives me /bin/bash, bash for user and pfksh for admin.

I found also that supershell process is run by /bin/ksh and I checked, I hope, all files related to ksh and nothing strange has been found.

What else is worth trying?

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
