Hello,

Here is a remote exploit for the glob bug discussed earlier here.
It works on FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE, and with the right address, should
work on others as well.  It requires a user account in a non-chrooted
environment (normal user account).

If anyone gets this working on other systems, let me know.

Take care, have a good weekend.
