Linux security warning
----------------------

Almost all Linux machines are vulnerable to an old BSD trick giving
telnet/rlogin access as any user with no password. A fixed telnetd/rlogind
pair along with an lpr/lpc/lpd set of utilities with other smaller but vital
security fixes is now on

This tar contains both source and binaries built for libc 4.5.21 without
shadow passwords. The source can build for shadow passwords.
