According to the latest issue of the Sun Observer the newest version of SunOS, 4.0.2, fixes (among other things) five security bugs that are present in SunOS 4.0.1. A list of these bugs was not given. I know one bug is the line ::0:0::: being substituted for each blank line left in /etc/passwd, but what are the other four? We probably won't be upgrading our 386i to 4.0.2 for a few months and this article has gotten a few managment (read, "non-unix") people quite paraniod about our current system security. -- "I'm an anthropologist, not a computer systems architect, damit!" jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz crash]!hodge!jdm James D.
