I've grown up with computers around me my whole life. I started programming when I was a kid, and stuck with it ever since. I came across Linux around 1999 and have enjoyed working with it ever since.
For a job, I get to write software that runs on embedded Linux devices. I do everything from working on low-level drivers to writing shell scripts and even web apps.

How is the inherited file descritor vulnerability dealt with in Unices? That makes sense, although just having close-on-exec doesn't fix the problem: you have to have the ability to request that flag from every function that returns a new file descriptor. |

Make USB modem work on Puppy Linux 5.28 Got it. Then there are a couple possibilities: check that you have usb_modeswitch and the accompanying definitions to be able to switch your device (if you don't know how, submit another question). If you already have them, try manually modeswitching the modem using it - if that works, you need to add a udev rule to do it automatically. Once that's done, PupDial should see the ttyUSB port. |

Make USB modem work on Puppy Linux 5.28 @maniat1k Yes - from the logs you posted, I can tell that it did recognize it as a GSM modem, so when you PupDial comes up, there should be ttyUSB1 available for you to use. |

Ask root for password when using su command @ice_mint You should answer the question with the details. Also, possibly make the question more generic so that it's more useful. |

Ask root for password when using su command Maybe the pam config could do it. I have /etc/pam.d/su on my system. |

Ask root for password when using su command Ah, I see. So you could probably exclude su from the ALL tag to make this work. |
