Re: Running "mindterm" or other JAR files, and blocking them?

Similar to this, I noticed that ssh://<some IP address> will open Terminal
as a "helper application" from Safari, which is permitted under Workgroup
Manager. What have the rest of you done - removed Terminal.app, renamed it
or something else?

Are you on tiger? As long as the user has no shell defined, terminal will not run. I think the same is true in panther.
Just make sure users shells are set to /bin/false. Or if you're bound to AD, you want dsconfigad -shell none.

Just today I had a student running "mindterm" and using that to ssh back to
some other computer somewhere (still trying to figure out where that was).
With some investigating I figured it was as easy as a download, as it will
run through Safari (or even Firefox), being a .jar file. Is there a good way
to block execution of such files through MCX?
