When nohup runs a program whose output is a terminal, it redirects stdout and
stderr to a file named nohup.out in the current directory. What would stop
someone from creating a symlink called nohup.out that points to /etc/passwd
or some other important file, and then waiting for root to run nohup?
Hopefully I'm missing something, but if I'm not, I think this qualifies as a
bug.
