/bin/mail

[msc at qubix.UUCP]

	It is true that /bin/mail allows you to write to files but there
	is no security hole.  I run our /bin/mail suid root.  It will
	not, however let you write to files owned by root or anyone else.

	Obviously someone thought of this and the program sets itself to
	its real user ID before trying to write to files.
