Hello, Playing with my new shiny Slackware 3.5 box I have noticed something unusual. The in.pop3d daemon creates sometimes locks for some mailboxes in /usr/tmp/.pop. The directory is drwxrwxrwt so there will be no problem in creating nice links to /zImage, /vmlinuz, /etc/shadow or whatever comes in your head. Be creative. Thank God there are still temporary directories. Please notify the authors, I still don't know their email and I apologize for that. ------------ Stefan Laudat System Engineer - Dragon Art Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing. -- Dick Brandon
