Here's a wrapper for this bug and for the older XF86 security vulnerability (i.e. XF86_XX -config /etc/shadow)
FYI, Debian GNU/Linux has included such a wrapper for some time now. However, Debian's wrapper is dynamically customizable (ie, your X server is specified in a config file, etc). It will check for these sorts of problems and prevent them from reaching the X server, similar to your implementation. -- John Goerzen Southwind Internet Access, Inc, Business e-mail: jgoerzen () southwind net Personal e-mail: jgoerzen () complete org Wichita State University e-mail: jgoerzen () cs twsu edu Developer, Debian GNU/Linux <http://www.debian.org>
