I was saving this but, if you havent't recently updated your Cron binary
excellent exploit available. You can find it at securityfocus.com (do
a search for cron). Grab the w00w00 one. Compile it and run it. You will 
have root it seconds. Make your changes to /etc/passwd. Then make sure
you update that Cron.
