[Sorry if this question has been adressed a zillion times but the search function of the archive seems broken]
[Sorry again: I am reading this list through the web-archives and august hasn't appeared yet. Could you CC me] First of all let me thank everybody who has worked on Debian 1.3.1 for all their efforts. It is greatly appreciated. (Using a distribution does make one feel as if somebody else has tinkered with your system though :-)). I was checking out the files in /etc/crontab.daily and there it says above the standard find <old tmp files> | xargs rm lines something to the effect of "These lines commented out because of the obvious security hole". What security hole? The only one I think I can see would be that xargs actually passes it's command line to the shell without properly escaping the filenames it puts in. Regardless of the nature of the hole: Is this fixed somehwere? The above "hole" would be fixed by making xargs call rm directly I think.
