generally, if you're going to run bind, you should update it from the ports collection (rather than updating the entire OS). the ports version (i believe) installs to /usr/local/sbin, rather than /usr/sbin. you'll have to change teh named entry in your /etc/rc.conf to reflect the use of a different named. also, if you're using the "installed named" you could simply update the sources and build it from there. -- jan (PS - the current version of "stable" is freebsd 3.4) On Fri, 14 Jan 2000, Clifton Royston wrote: > I noticed 3.3Release, which I installed recently, is running Bind > 8.2.1 which has known security vulnerabilities including a possible root > compromise exploit. <http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/bulletins/k-007.shtml>; > > I did not see this mentioned in the errata page for 3.3 at > <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.3R/errata.html>; > > The ISC recommends running Bind 8.2.2P5.
