Subject: Announce: modutils 2.3.21 is available
Date:	Wed, 22 Nov 2000 23:25:17 +1100

This is the "never release a security fix in a hurry" release.  The
security fixes in modutils 2.3.20 had some side effects on some config
files.  Linus knocked back environment variable MOD_SAFEMODE, instead
the kernel propagates the real uid that caused modprobe to be invoked.
