Please folks, bugtraq is for full disclosure of security
bugs. It's not comp.security.unix. It's not for security wannabees
to show off how little they know about how UNIX works. If you want
to learn why xterm is setuid or whatever, pick up a book and read.
Don't post random ideas without research.
If you still don't get it, post to comp.security.unix,
comp.security.misc or comp.unix.questions or the group for your UNIX
flavor of choice.
Sorry to be so bitchy, but I and many others have joined this list
to get first-hand reports of security problems (because that's what it
was advertised as), not to listen to all this noise.
