I joined this list today to see if there was chatter re: subject.
% osascript -e 'tell app "ARDAgent" to do shell script "whoami"'
root
Needs to be run by a user logged in to the windowing system. If wrong
user, message:
_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to
the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
Then after a timeout delay it returns with an error:
execution error: ARDAgent got an error: Connection is invalid. (-609)
Trojan vector via .app file + mail.
Some machines report of errors:
23:47: execution error: ARDAgent got an error: "whoami" doesn't
understand the do shell script message. (-1708)
Errors occured on a MacBook Pro running 10.5.3, an iBook running
10.4.11 and a g5 PPC OS X Server running 10.4.11 (Server build)
Easily fixable.
