To protect your site NOW, make sure you have a statically linked 'login'
executable! Do it NOW! Go to sunsite.unc.edu (or any other well stocked
site), and get a copy of the poeigl-1.39.tar.gz package. On sinsite it is
in the /pub/Linux/system/Admin/login directory. Edit the Makefile,
and add '-static' to the LIBS line. Do a 'make' and install AT LEAST the
'login' executable.
Eh, how do I know that this binary is kosher?
