Hello - This is an invitation to start a war against OS developers.

telnetd is infected with a national security backdoor in all non-source =
compiled versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.  If you download the =
source code for telnetd and compile it to compare the file size of the =
"stock" or "out of the box" version of telnetd versus the =
source-compiled version - you will clearly see a difference - which is =
the backdoor.  This information should be forwarded to CERN and the BSD =
and Linux development teams.

It is to our knowledge that ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE BACK-DOORS IN =
THEIR OUT-OF-THE-BOX DAEMONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY USE!

All versions of Linux and SunOS with in.telnetd are also infected.

The portmapper and most stock daemons in all OS's are infected if the =
compilation from direct source code results in a file size that is =
different from stock.

Peace!
