Thanks again, but still no joy
These are the commands I've found to be active so far:
cat filename (no switches.)
echo (printing $input but not its contents to the shell.)
finger username
who
whoami
cd (permission denied for most movement.)
ls directoryname (no switches.)
vi (displays Must be root.)
pine (displays cannot connect to host.)
pico (displays Must be root.)
StartX (displays cannot access terminal.)
I've found a shadowed password file, although the passwd file contains user who do not have passwords attached to their usernames. However I cannot change user.
Unsuccessful commands:
su
find
grep
mkdir
mv
cp
lp
chfn
chmod
chuser
chsh
find
FTP
talk
ypcat passwd
passwd
rmdir
man
As you can see, it is pretty restrictive. I've even grabbed myself a free shell account at sdf.lonestar.org, and it's not helping me. I'm not sure if 'obscure' commands are being called for or not.
Any other suggestions?
