Users who don't are not affected by the problems in 8.2.4. This interesting - because there was no FreeBSD advisory released recently about any Bind vulnerabilities that I can recall, and even though on ISC's Bind homepage it suggests there is a security problem with 8.2.4 (or pre 8.3.1 versions), on the security page (linked right from the text suggesting you to upgrade) it implies that there isn't any problem with 8.2.4: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html Mark? -- Philip J.
