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

	sunacm.swan.ac.uk:/pub/Linux/Networking/URGENT/security.tgz

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