[cobalt-security] sendmail and yay i got a r00t



Anyone have any tips for upgrading Sendmail? There doesnt seem to be an official patch. This is for a raq2.
 
By the way, for those on the edge of their seats waiting for the conclusion </sarcasm>, I couldnt get root because the /var/ partition was full (thats /dev/hd*c ) so I had to mount it in a Mandrake box and remove the file - analog.dns which was .. well.. it was massive.
 
Yup, an official bug. Edit analog.cfg and use /tmp instead of /var
 
Thanks for those of you who offered suggestions
which were (for future reference) -
 
    Paper clip reset passwd
    GUI admin change passwd
    Change terminal type
    su -
 
and when all that fails..
df  and look at /var
 
Cheers,
