Ubuntu Breezy users, a new security problem has surfaced where root password is readable to the world by merely executing this command :
mypapit@enterprise:~$ grep -r rootpassword /var
Users are advised to update their Breezy installations (via automatic updates) as soon as possible to counter the bug. The problem has been fixed in Ubuntu 6.04 (Drapper Drake).
