An older version of linuxconf was packaged with Redhat 5.1 and I had not run into any problems with that version. But after installing the latest version (linuxconf-1.13r15-1) onto OpenLinux 1.3, I came upon a problem during boot. It had not detected /sbin/clock, so a menu appeared during boot and asked if I wanted to change this. This happened all before I was even prompted for a login. The fact that someone who has physical access to the server can access linuxconf (which by default, can only be used under root) is kind of disturbing. So far, I have not been able to exploit this problem, though I'm guessing that it could be done (e.g. from that menu, access user configuration, etc.).
