Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG There was an advisory about BIND posted to Slashdot today: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/01/30/0435256&mode=thread I am concerned -- does this affect FreeBSD? I am running a somewhat 4.2-STABLE (buildworld done around Dec 5 of last year). The BIND version string is: Jan 30 21:27:11 borg-cube named[20011]: starting. named 8.2.3-T5B Mon Sep 25 23:37:47 GMT 2000 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/named If this affects me, has this problem been corrected in the latest 4.2-STABLE code? (if so, then I will cvsup and make buildworld RIGHT NOW!!!) :) Please let me know, thanks! -- Donald Burr Resistance is Futile | FreeBSD: The WWW: http://www.borg-cube.com/ ICQ: UIN#16997506 | Power to Address: P.O.
