84.0. "TECO" by HARE::STAN () Tue Dec 25 1984 02:05

From page 5-83 of the VAX/VMS Guide to System Security (V4.0):

Note:	Do not permit the captive account command procedure to
	use the TECO editor; TECO has sufficient capabilities to
	break out of any captive command procedure.

	Doesn't that have something to do with its being installed with CMKRNL?

No, it had to be installed with CMKRNL under VMS V1.x for it's memory to
work, but that hasn't been necessary since vms V2!!
Actually, its EGcommand$ - for example, EGEXIT$$ should get you out of the
command procedure; or EGSET VERIFY$ or any number of fun things... like
delete the captive command procedure, rename it.. and so on. The mind boggles
at the possibilities!

	It has been written that one can have a hacking kind of
fun by typing one's name to TECO and seeing what it does.  So
what does *your* name do to TECO?

Nothing... my name doesn't end in two escapes. :-)
