First count:
$ ls -la /usr/bin/less
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95404 Mar 2 15:50 /usr/bin/less
Second count:
From less(1):
SECURITY
When the environment variable LESSSECURE is set to 1, less runs in a
"secure" mode. This means these features are disabled:
! the shell command
| the pipe command
:e the examine command.
v the editing command
s -o log files
-k use of lesskey files
-t use of tags files
metacharacters in filenames, such as *
filename completion (TAB, ^L)
Less can also be compiled to be permanently in "secure" mode.
Tell me again how that fails on either count?
