The contents of the script was: #!/bin/sh pine -i rm -rf $HOME/dead.letter Thats the whole script. I don't see how something like that could cause a kernel to crash. Would anyone mind trying to replicate this on a test box. If it's a security issue, i'll forward it to security when I get more information. -- Jonathan ______________________________________________ Jonathan M.
