      RedHat 3.0.3 and Slackware actually are exposed because it use
      libc-5.2.18, don-t know if it was pointed . I havent received
      a copy from the original message called:
      "Linux rlogin hole with libc 5.x"
      plese sendme a copy.

      I ve just remove rlogin rshd & rexec from inetd.conf
      from a couple of linux boxes.
