    #105260-01 is a patch to SunOS 4.1.4's rlogin program, and the
    installation instructions as given are insufficient:
    
    ----------------------
    
    Patch Installation Instructions:
    
    1) As root, save a copy of the original file:
    
       mv /usr/ucb/rlogin /usr/ucb/rlogin.fcs
    
    2) Copy the new file from the patch directory:
    
       cp rlogin /usr/ucb
       chown root.staff /usr/ucb/rlogin
       chmod 4755 /usr/ucb/rlogin
    
    ------------------------
    
    which, of course, leaves rlogin.fcs still suid root and still exploitable.
    
    SunOS 4.x administrators should find the suid binaries on their machines
    and look for old binaries that still have suid bits.  If the instructions
    from Sun were followed they should be .fcs or .FCS files, but they could
    have been named anything by a prior administrator...
    
    find /usr -xdev -type f \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -exec ls -la \{\} \;
    
    passwd, at and sendmail patches may have (or have had at one time) similar
    errors in them.
