Starting and Stopping STOP

When STOP is first installed, stack overflow protection is activated by default. To deactivate it, you must change a token in the [seos_syscall] section of the seos.ini file and restart CA Access Control. To do this, use the seini command as follows:

seini ‑s SEOS_syscall.STOP_enabled 0

You could manually change the seos.ini file instead.

To re‑enable STOP, change the value of the token to 1 and restart CA Access Control.

Note: When STOP is active on Sun Solaris 7 systems, the dbx program cannot work properly. If you need to use dbx on a system that is protected by STOP, you must first disable STOP.
