Hi everyone, Microimages has one nice X server for Windows, which allow you to wun Windows 95/98 and to work Graphicaly with some *NIX based system, for example I have SunOS and I export my DISPLAY to my host where I'm running Windows95/98 with MIX server, and all I run on my Sun will be graphicaly come to my windows X server. What is the vulnerable. If you know someone is using that X server, you just type: export DISPLAY=hishost.com:0.0 xterm ( then wait about 10 seconds and hit Ctrl-C ) It will kill MIX server on remote Machine. Where is the bug - MIX kills automatically when someone stop the process locally from the *NIX based system, not killing the process from the X server by closing the windows. That's It MIX can be obtained on www.microimages.com
