RE: [TCLUG:16642] Backdoor Password in Red Hat Linux Virtual ServerPackage

Sigh, I knew someone was going to say that.  The gentleman was just asking
for a web site, so I provided one.

Very well.  Article posted at http://www.msnbc.com/news/399125.asp#BODY and
fix posted on ftp://ftp.redhat.com/6.2 .  It's probably also in the "Updates
and Errata" section of http://www.redhat.com but that site appears to be
swamped right now.
