[olug] remote root heads up on Redhat

[Chris Garrity]

	Be aware there's been plenty of discussion of bugtraq lately about "string
format" remote root exploits. If you're running rpc.statd (sunrpc) or wu-ftpd,
you may want to investigate. I know of one very experienced Redhat person with
much security experience that very recently had a very serious problem that
could possibly be related. Seems the exploit could be more general, and not
particular to just the aforementioned daemons.
