Hello all,

Quick question...

On my 2.1-R boxes, /sbin/mount_union access is as follows....

-r-sr-xr-x  1 root  bin  49152 May 1 09:48 mount_union

Now on my 2.1.5-R boxes it's...

-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  65536 Jul 16 22:23 mount_union

Would it be possible for a normal user to gain euid=0 through
mount_union on the 2.1-R boxes?  

Any information surrounding the change between releases?
A quick response via e-mail would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

-Dave
