TFTP : hangs on requesting /etc/passwd.  I am told this is a bad sign,
that I should get a newer version.  Opinions?

..exrc : I fooled with this thing forever, trying to get it to set my tabstops.
I know it is a security hole, but why not -just- read it from the home
dir and not from CWD?  Was this disabled on purpose for security?

sendmail : I assume the debug hole is gone, but then again I assumed tftp
would be fixed too, so maybe this is still here.

binmail, adduser: nonexistent.
