Ultimate plans for the sudo fix .orbitrc?

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi Henrik,

The lines that need to go into root's .orbitrc are as follows:

ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPUNIX=0"

If I understand things correctly, the presence of these lines could at least 
in theory create some security holes, but I don't have a good enough 
understanding of that side of things to comment on possible implications;, 
but you can find more info by consulting the bug:

Thanks again, and hope this helps,

--Al
