[ irrelevant details deleted ]

Some of the other things are very questionable. I can break a standard
Sun Solaris 2 machine in about 2 minutes from a shell prompt and about 10
otherwise unless the user is applying patchkits very fast. Currently I can
break almost any BSD derived system because of a bug CERT haven't yet
even published.

[ note above reference to a bug in *ALL* BSD derived systems ]
