This is part of yellow pages and is a mechanism which allows files from one computer to be shared by another, thus it is important to disallow any possibilities of modifying these files. Systems are tested to verify they are not world readable or writeable. This checks for their presence and then verifies that no symbolic links exist to these files. By having a symbolic link to .plan or .project allows a user to list that file by the remote finger command. Source code for UNIX SPI is available for those wishing to compile and build SPI on these and other systems.
Minor bug fixes.
Binary installation has been greatly simplified. Flaws in the Password Inspector regarding use of level 3 dictionaries, detection of NULL accounts, and the dating and treatment of password logfile entries has been fixed. Source code compile failures on HP-UX due to spurious Makefile characters have been fixed. Attribute warning specification for User and Group accounts are properly configurable through the Change Detection Tool meta-spec edit screen. Report listings better reflect actual job status.
