Hi.

There are two holes that I know of in ksu.  The first is that if there
is no rcmd ticket, a successful root ticket will let you in, and
second, it is possible to spoof a principal and rcmd ticket, and it
will let you in.  I know of no patches for these holes.

The second attack is slightly more difficult than the first.
