Well yeah... Naturally...

I'm assuming that the SSH-aspect of it all is securely setup. Even the fact that ssh is being used is an assumption.

The only way to circumevent evildoing like this, would be to look up the process-tree for the ssh-process that we got forked of off, and get the uid/pid that process is running under, and check netstat for the connection details I suppose...

But the setup itself is quite dangerous; menu.pl has to be VERY tight as it's running root... Hopefully the OP is using taint mode, and untainting properly...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
