  1. Re:AUTHOR: FAQs answered on New Remote Root in Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    automount adamantly refuses to mount a remote share into something that already exists. So /private/var/cron/tab is out. /etc/ is out. /Library and /System are out.

    So we are left with:

    1. You didn't actually try to automount any malicious sharepoints. Certainly not the cron tab that you speak of.

    2. We don't have a remote hole in the default install.

    Now, I'm open to the concept of automounting in something malicious, but I'm at a loss of what that would be.

    Certainly you could automount a Fonts folder into /Network/Library/Fonts and mess with a user. Perhaps a bad preference file into /Network/Library/Preferences? Although the home folder preferences should take precedence over that.

    But no remotely starting ssh that I can think of.
