Then set the root password and all users password to anything. causing a possible security risk. the hacker may then use ferret or some programs at his/her leisure to steel your information. or if you did it to yourself its only funny. -- Possible Major Security Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
