I discovered a Bug in machines RISC that can permite acces to root!
The bug is the follow:
When you make in a compatible AIX  3.x
	rsh <host> -l -froot
You obtain the root access !!!
How I corrected this problem??
I want to know about the another bugs in the RISC machines.
Thanks for your cooperation!

Att,
