- Anyone have any idea why /usr/bin/mail is setgid kmem? One of my
- coworkers just demonstrated his password snarfer by using a shell
- escape from mail. The program was published in Informatik 4, available
- as ftp.eff.org:/pub/inform/inform-4.
-
- I'm also told the mail does not work if you remove its setgidness.
- Yay DEC....
