SunOS 4.1.1 Security hole
- From: Larry J. Blunk

There is a serious security hole in SunOS 4.1.1 (and 4.1 I think)
relating to the initial state of the /etc/hosts.equiv file. I was able to
break into a number of Suns on MichNet because this file had not
been changed. To fix this problem, you need to make sure that you do
not have a '+' alone on a line in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
