    	hello !
    
    if nslookup is installed with the s-bit all users can
    create and overwrite files owned by root. this works
    in the interactive mode, when dumping dns-records to a
    file (with ls -d DOMAINNAME > FILE for example).
    i checked it on aix 4.2.0, 4.2.1 and 4.1.1, where nslookup
    is installed suid-root by default. maybe its
    possible to create usable files with an own "special"
    nameserver. or maybe its possible to pipe the answers
    to a script to create the files you want, but i haven't
    tried this.
    
    	greetings,
    	
    			Andreas
    
    p.s.: if this has already been reported to this list - sorry for
    	my lazyness to search an archive of bugtraq.
