Thanks. Checking it out now.... Wow. 1991. And this still works?
Amazing. How can it not be patched? Thanks for the info, Charles, very
interesting.

Hold on. This defies all that I understand about *bsd. (very easy to

since I know so little) You are telling me that there is a local root

today? Does this mean that freebsd boxes are running with this hole
now
if no one patched them? I thought this distribution was know to be
more
responsive to security issues? Most interesting.

I did not think *bsd distros had such holes. How long does it
usually
take the team to patch them?
