Lines: 8 Message-ID: <3246bd15.2021288@news.scruz.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 205.179.167.58 X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99e/32.227 I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5R and have noticed that if I login to the system from a remote x-station and start an xterm it will spawn a root shell no matter who I'm logged in as. This is a big problem. Someone please help. Thanks.
