>From the keyboard of rbj at uunet.UU.NET (Root Boy Jim):
:The mknod bug has been fixed. However, if you can get a user
:account on someone's machine and get them to mount your disk...
:Guy Harris wants "nosuid" to also mean "nodev" as well.

As do I; in fact, I mentioned this solution (actually, I requested a
"nospecial") in my origianl CERT report on this.  Unfortunately, Sun
didn't do this.  They also haven't issued a notice to people who might be
using it, like their OEMs.  After all, it's "fixed" in 4.1; sigh.
