i didn't find a better list (to which i'm on), to post this at, so here goes...

/usr/lib/sendmail is suid-root by default on SuSE 6.3... i use it for flushing
my mail queue... can this be exploited? I'm not looking for an exploit, just
wondering, and what would be the implications?

nikhilwiz@linux:~ > ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           18 Apr 24 02:40 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/sendmail
