how to verify the function of "Allow UNIX tools to run"

[a joe]

Hi all,

My server is the Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. I created one new account for my client machine with its Workgroup Manager tool and set the Application access preferences.

But there is one item "Allow UNIX tools to run", I don't know how to verify its function. Other all could work very well. I ever tried such as ps, wc, tail in command, but they could still work. Who can tell me which unix tools should I try?

Any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks.

According to the official description in
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/User_Management_Admin_v10.4.pdf, the command-line tool should be the non-application tool. When I called those tools in my own application, such as who, wc, and so on. Those commands still could be launched though I disabled the option of "Allow UNIX tools to run".

In another article:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107659&coll=cp, it mentioned the unbundled application. And the ARD(Apple Remote Desktop) application is that one, but it still cannot verify that option.

Now, I am losting, who could give me a hand? Thanks.
