Subject: Slackware Shadow Insecurity
Discovered by Ted Hickman:
Recently I noticed something rather "insecure" about the slackware 3.4
/bin/login (and probably other versions). If the /etc/group file does not
exist, any user who logs into the system is given uid 0 gid 0.

Password:
initgroups: No such file or directory
Linux 2.0.34.

You have mail.
