That's true. Though the default teTeX setup seems to be (from
texmf.cnf):
% Allow TeX \openin, \openout, or \input on filenames starting with `.'
% (e.g., .rhosts) or outside the current tree (e.g., /etc/passwd)?
% a (any) : any file can be opened.
% r (restricted) : disallow opening "dotfiles".
% p (paranoid) : as 'r' and disallow going to parent directories, and
% restrict absolute paths to be under $TEXMFOUTPUT.
openout_any = p
openin_any = a
So you can read any file but you cannot write any file. Seems
sensible.
