security warning

In a previous message of mine to this list I said that the bug from
Ning Zhang (involving yellow pages) only allowed people already
registered as users in a YP domain to become root.

That was probably not true; other information suggests that this bug
allows anyone on the internet to become root if you run YP password service.
Best to turn it off.
