funny to still see this thread running.
Your conversation of the su issue prompted me to look for an exploit.
Found this linux "su" exploit that copies the passwords to /tmp/.tmp
The only problem is you'd have to get it there first.

Has anyone used my iptables suggestion with success?
Perhaps I'm being daft, but the exploit appears to be a 'passwd' trojan,
not an su trojan. And the attacker would need to get it in a place where
it would get inadvertently run (preferably by root).
