        The problem with DTUSERSESSION was already posted on last
        Feb 24; and by then, the "Solaris dtappgather patch" fixed the
        DTUSERSESSION but not the link (directory permissions) problem,
        which probably is fixed by the other patch on 2.5.x.

        So, at least Solaris 2.6 (sparc) with recent patches is not
        vulnerable.
