[ale] Linux Virus

[Armsby John-G16665]

When I get this virus on my Linux box, I need to know whom to thank.  I take
it your email IS correct below?  I assume I can then track you down after
loading up the bus with all the ale subscribers whom I am sure would also
like to thank you?

Ive thought of a way to make a linux virus.  Its fairly straight forward.
Instead of just reproducing itself in a binary it changes the binary it
copies itself to suid root, then when any user runs it, they run it as root
and can spread it to any binary on the system.  freaky huh?
