Bugtraq archives for 3rd quarter (Jul-Sep) 1994: Re: IRIX 5.2 Security Advisory

The original advisory not only failed to explain the hole it also gave
completely useless advice for my configuration. I keep most of my books on CD
to save space, so the command 
	# versions remove sgihelp.books.ViewerHelp
didn't do anything, because all the files it wanted to remove were on the CD.

I only mention this because there may be others in the same situation.

Regards,
Bob
