Hi!

Well, environment is passed using special protocal. How much of it is
used depends on in.telned version. Look:

pavel@Elf:~$ export DISPLAY=asdfgh
pavel@Elf:~$ telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Linux 2.1.72 (Elf.mj.gts.cz) (ttyp0)


Elf login: pavel
Password:
Last login: Tue Dec 16 09:08:08 on ttyp0 from localhost.
TERM=linux

Swipple's Rule of Order:
He who shouts the loudest has the floor.

pavel@Elf:~$ echo $DISPLAY
asdfgh
pavel@Elf:~$

And what about suid programs?

TMP=/etc ping localhost?

Ok, ping will not use $TMP, but X for sure will?

No, no, this is not secure.
