I thought it was common knowledge that you shouldn't run hlds as root... When one of my close friends managed to mess up glibc on his system, we were able to successfully fix it by sending malformed packets to the hlds he had running on the system, as root. I have also heard in the past that things like Adminmod are horribly vulnerable... why does this not surprise me?

I highly recommend to any coder and/or sysadmin to check these out (I'm not going to reproduce them here, bugtraq has an excellent archive). Although there's no fix available yet, you should at least know about the possible dangers. Just to clearify things: I'm in NO way related to those who found the vulnerabilities, I'm just telling you that these exist so you know what you'll have to deal with sooner or later. -- Sebastian Steinlechner - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.resourcecode.de _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
