Hi... I was giving this concept a little thought. If I'm not root and I can bind a low port, let's say the telnet port. I could write myself a fake telnet daemon and run it. Sooner or later, someone is going to try using it... This whole thing about non-root users binding to low ports would only be useful if there are no shell accounts on a machine IMO. -Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
