Okay Kids, Go back to your room. Sean, you need to learn some etiquette and A) not repost private email, and B) jump to conclusions that are contrary to what many years of FreeBSD operation has shown us. As with all security patches, one will be provided in due time, after it is evaluated critically. In this case I can honestly say "Fooey", yes its a really NASTY bug for those of us with Pentium systems that have normal users with accounts on them. However, its not the most security hole to ever be invented. Lets all act like adults here, and let this thread drop right now. -Crh -- Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@msu.edu http://pilot.msu.edu/~henrich
