* From: Kris Kennaway <kris@citusc.usc.edu> * > Well, in 4.1-RELEASE with XFree 3.3.6 it *is* doing something. Look at * > /etc/pam.conf. * * Yes, it does in 3.3.6, we are talking about 4.0.x. Can someone comment on this? I don't use PAM here so I can't verify. * Again, I'm talking about the behaviour of the 4.0.x server. 3.3.6 was * not installed setuid root, but had a setuid root wrapper which * performed some amount of input validation, and was responsible for * catching at least one server buffer overflow. 4.0.x removed that, * although we now have an xwrapper port which should be used by default. Taguchi-san said he will fix this properly last weekend. Hmm, actually the weekend's over now...Taguchi-san? :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
