This is a warning to all who have ftp'd the unencumbered
securedist for FreeBSD from braae.ru.ac.za before 0900 UTC
on April 14 1994, that there was a security hole in this code.
(I will release the exact details later, but would first like
to give affected sites the opportunity to upgrade.)
New source and binaries can be obtained from braae.ru.ac.za
I regret any inconvenience which has been caused by this problem.
Geoff
