Gee... just the other day you were howling about a single OEM configured default setting on OSX that, in your opinion, was a "Critical" security issue, that might, after an extremely improbable chain of events, allow a local area user access to root level... and that, according to you, was a heinous flaw in the OS!

Considering the fact that all that's needed to exploit your flaw was to plug in a notebook running an LDAP server on your segment, that's a pretty big freakin' flaw.

No, Bush, it required connecting to a Local Network with a HOSTILE LDAP server... a very remote possibility... that can be prevented by changing ONE user setting.
