National Security Backdoor in telnetd - all versions.



Hello - This is an invitation to start a war against OS developers.

telnetd is infected with a national security backdoor in all non-source
compiled versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.  If you download the
source code for telnetd and compile it to compare the file size of the
"stock" or "out of the box" version of telnetd versus the source-compiled
version - you will clearly see a difference - which is the backdoor.  This
information should be forwarded to CERT and the BSD and Linux development
teams.

It is to our knowledge that ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE BACK-DOORS IN THEIR
OUT-OF-THE-BOX DAEMONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY USE!

All versions of Linux and SunOS with in.telnetd are also infected.

The portmapper and most stock daemons in all OS's are infected if the
compilation from direct source code results in a file size that is different
from stock.
