Hello !

I think there is a BIG ERROR in this mail :

There is a local root comprimise hole in PLP Line Printer Control program,
version 4.0.3, which is SuSE 5.2's /usr/bin/lpc.  Most other unices use a
different version of lpc (including SuSE 5.1).


Under an installation of SuSE 5.1, I found lpc 4.0.3 !
Therefore I think 5.1 is not safe !
