	both/sbin/dump and /sbin/restore are suid root  on FreeBSD 2.0R
same for /sbin/rrestore and /sbin/rdump

	so if joe pops in a tape and does a restore as a regular user on my 
machine over the net from his machine to mine using this suid root 
rrestore, he can drop in a /usr/sbin/vipw of his choice???  

ls -Flago /usr /sbin/rrestore /usr/sbin/vipw
-r-sr-sr-x  2 root  tty  - 184320 Jan 25 10:56 /sbin/rrestore*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin  -  12288 Jan 25 11:05 /usr/sbin/vipw*
