DSA ID :
Klaus Ade Johnstad discovered that it was possible for a normal
user to modify the module configuration for wlus. It's not a big
security hole, but it might cause some trouble if the config is
changed. It can not be used to change the settings for existing
users but only the behaviour when creating new user accounts .
New packages are availible from http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/
We recommend that you upgrade your wlus package.
Upgrade Instructions

Make sure 'deb http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux woody local
present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get update' to
update your package lists.
