No cracking involved and already fixed in 10.7.2 seeds.

Even if there's no cracking, the general consensus is that this is a very serious bug that never should have slipped through and isn't seen on any other OS. Maybe Apple should start having public beta releases of its milestone OS upgrades because once again like its predecessors Lion seems half baked in many respects.

Being able to access the password hashes is very far from "cracking passwords". It is not a given that these hashes can be decrypted.

While that's true, giving unprivileged access to all the password hashes (assuming I'm correctly reading the article) is certainly something you shouldn't be doing.

Definitely, just a little correction pertaining to the article topic (not Big Mac's fault, he just copied the topic from the original article)

Apple's testing department really let some things through this time, didn't they?

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

I would argue that developer copies of Lion were probably more available than ever before given a dev membership went from $3000 to $100 or something like since Snow Leopard.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
