Such bugs might exist in a users .procmailrc, based on bad programming. Procmail is after all, a language for mail processing. People can do dumb things with it. I'd be suprised to see a bug in the procmail program that would open an xterm, but I've been suprised before. ;) Adam DANIEL .D .EZEKIEL wrote: | hi there , | I just heard from a friend that there is a bug in procmail | which allows anyone to open an xterm window from any | m/c .has anyone heard of this if so can u post the details | and the xploit | thanx | danny | -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
