I did not intend it to go to a list. The web page says if there are any other news articles about FreeBSD, send them to that e-mail. Sorry I sent it to Docs. I should have mentioned the article was from E-week. I also realize the Certs site (http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/412115) states Microsoft reporting itself as not vulnerable. I was just wondering if anyone in FreeBSD had any idea if how FreeBSD Pads the IP Packets? I am currently not subscribed to any of these lists so please CC me on the response. I am only on the newbee list since that is where I belong. I am still very new to this OS. Charles Libby Ceri Davies wrote: >On Tue, Jan 07, 2003 at 05:46:19AM -0600, Charles S.
