Anyhow, it is Linux & NT thing, and doesn't belong on the FreeBSD lists. There are many different operating systems, and many bugs, and that doesn't mean they need to be discussed here. Since the exploit was posted, people should actually try it before posting. If they don't know how to try it, they should ask on freebsd-questions. Just becasue a bug in operating system xyz, it doesn't mean it exists in FreeBSD. Tom
