                    Hello,
    
            Playing with my new shiny Slackware 3.5 box I have noticed
    something unusual. The in.pop3d daemon creates sometimes locks for some
    mailboxes in /usr/tmp/.pop. The directory is  drwxrwxrwt so there will be
    no problem in creating nice links to /zImage, /vmlinuz, /etc/shadow or
    whatever comes in your head. Be creative.
            Thank God there are still temporary directories.
            Please notify the authors, I still don't know their email and I
    apologize for that.
