Ah, it's just fine.. there's nothing wrong with browsing the archives. Note that the name of the file you looked at is "FreeBSD-SA-96:03" which means the 3rd advisory for the year 1996. Perhaps it was indeed a genuine mistake in the advisory, but I wasn't around back then. Maybe Warner Losh, FreeBSD's Security Officer, could address your questions. But in general, I don't think anyone needs to worry about problems that are 4 years old and were taken care of. :-) -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
