Message-ID: <ByntK9.1D6@news.chalmers.se> Date: 3 Dec 92 01:31:20 GMT Sender: news@news.chalmers.se Organization: Chalmers University of Technology Lines: 17 Nntp-Posting-Host: theta.me.chalmers.se Hi there... I just found out a 'small' bug in 386bsd. I happened to mistype some zeroes in 'limit datasize 5000000' in tcshell. It was an immediate kill... The system rebooted instantly. Yesss, i did test again, same result. It seems to me that it is very serious if anyone can nuke the system so easy. It also seems like all users can nuke the system at any time and location. Suggestion. Pls anyone, that are working on version 0.2. Take a look at thiss little one. Dan Andersson /// dana@theta.me.chalmers.se
