Security hole in smail 2.3's handling of ~/.forward

[levy at ttrdc.UUCP]

In article <1519 at ttrdc.UUCP>, levy at ttrdc.UUCP (I) sez:
>(gee you can have such fun if some careless sysadmin
>leaves / world writeable).

Let me add:  Kids, don't try this at home.  Needless to say (but I'm saying
it anyhow just so I don't get accused of inciting reckless hacking), especially
if your work/schoolwork depends upon having an account upon said computer or a
job from company owning said computer, you could find yourself in deep
<unspeakable>.

There, are ya happy.
