Actually, it wasn't exactly emacs: http://www.google.com.vn/search?hs=1ci&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=emacs+cuckoo%27s+egg+exploit&btnG=Search&meta= It was a faulty installation of movemail. I remember reading that book shortly before I started playing with Linux/Unix. I didn't know what emacs was back then and didn't understand the technology involved like I do now. - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCyRlh9PIYKZYVAq0RAn+AAJsG9doCdQmNtQHXkhQSxI4g+8bqgwCfVlhc Lkc3l5/1ruZyY3odzJcsjfM= =AjXQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
