It seems that some people have set up hack with hack.sh being a set-uid
shell script which changes to HACKDIR and then runs the real hack. This
is a very bad idea. Set-uid shell scripts are very insecure, as has been
noted before in other newsgroups. Send me mail from a "root" login if
you want more info.
