Subject: What's wrong with SLACKWARE's rshd setup?
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1993 04:35:21 GMT

My friend and I have installed slackware on our machines. When we both
connect to our school's host with SLIP, I've tried a
'rsh <HisAddress> -l root whoami' and it says 'root'! Why is there such
a *big* security hole? How can prevent others to rsh into my machine
besides 'chmod a-x /usr/etc/in.rshd'?

        Thanks.
