317: 1. A symlink problem was discovered in the KerberosIV password checking
318: routines /usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/login, which makes it possible for a

320: 2. It is possible to specify environment variables in telnet

322: possible to set environment variables on the remote side, including

325: machines immediately.<p>
