 * crontab buffer overflow code - mudge@l0pht.com                   *
 * 10/12/96                                                         *
 *                                                                  *
 * So I was sitting here thinking... I know, it's a dangerous thing *
 * and you ever notice that hackers seem to have a surplus of time  *
 * on their hands? Well, I don't but hopefully if I keep coming out *
 * with things like this it will help to perpetuate the myth.       *
 *                                                                  *
 * There is a really cool buffer overflow in crond that bitwrior    *
 * spotted. So I figured that since the same person, Paul Vixie,    *
 * wrote crontab too that the same type of errors would probably be *
 * there. Sure enough!                                              *
 *                                                                  *
 * Ya gotta love command line overflows... just yank the code from  *
 * any existing one and brute on the new program. This is almost    *
 * verbatim from my modstat overflow.                               *
 *                                                                  *
 * try with offsets of -92, -348, 164, 296, 351 with the way this   *
 * is currently setup. If these fail, brute force it <grin>.        *
