uhhh...  since when does sun have its own pop3 daemon??


It may not be shipped with Solaris 2.4, sorry about that, but SUNWpop exists,
I think it came as an extra with first Netra servers. I've seen it in some
installations by Sun.

An old one I guess known but I never saw it in the list:

Solaris 2.4 popper has an overflow in the username explotaible obviously
as root.
It's also easy to get root's shadow entry in the core dumped just
failing to
log as root before overruning the username.

Cheers,
