Hm, they seem to be fix now. In early rleases the permissions of the fd and cd and exec files weren't right. Now it uses some ugly hack that looks like the modes on the symlink are 700 (lrwx------) which only seems to work on the funny symlinks under /proc. Hm, it just occured to me that, as root, hijackling connections under Linux is real simple, you just open the right /proc/pid/fd/<num> Casper
