From the keyboard of Gord_Wait@mindlink.bc.ca (Gord Wait): :On sun sparc os 4.1.1 there is a default mail alias called uudecode. Is this a :useful thing? I can't get it to do anything but spit out error messages when I :mail it uuencoded files. Any clues appreciated. It is usually more useful to a cracker than to you, as it usually allows him to overwrite daemon-writable files anywhere on the system, or to create setuid-daemon programs. Depending on your sendmail, it may even be worse than this. I suggest you expurgate it from your system in all due haste. --tom -- Tom Christiansen tchrist@convex.com convex!tchrist "So much mail, so little time."
