Solaris privilege esaclation from the PROM monitor - 15/07/2003 08:42
I've managed to screw up my runtime linker configuration on my workstation.
It would be remarkably helpful if someone could remember the thing where you can escalate the privileges of a certain process from the prom so that I can delete the bogus /var/ld/ld.config file and make things work again.
If anyone can find it or remembers it, I'd be much appreciative. I don't really feel like shutting the machine down hard. (Basically I can only run statically linked binaries. I can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH back to /usr/lib, but I can't do that for any process that's suid, so I can't be root.)
In the meantime, I'm going to lunch.
