The 4.5-RELEASE version on the CD-ROMs (cvs tag RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE) had bind-8.2.4 according to CVS: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/bind/Version?rev=1.1.1.3.2.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_5 That has been updated to bind-8.3.3 on the RELENG_4_5 branch (4.5-RELEASE-pN) as a consequence of the security bugs detailed in FreeBSD-SA-02:28.resolv --- upgrading is strongly recommended. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02%3A28.resolv.asc Cheers, Matthew PS. to query the version of named running on a server you can do: dig @servername.dom.ain version.bind CHAOS TXT but a lot of admins will refuse access to that information. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
