I think i've understood where u are trying to get at. (like i previously
said, "i think i've understand,how this is exploited")

What i was trying to understand _now_ is (which had nothing to do with
the vulnerability) : how can users dial out (like gert said). (without
using root suid code off course).

BTW when are u going to release the bomb on bugtraq? I think the
discussion will be quite interesting to watch.
