None were. Most returned: named 8.2.3-T6B Thu Nov 23 19:00:06 EST 2000 Which is not supposed to be vulnerable. Not too long after the exploit became publically widespread, I noticed that my bind was randomly crashing. This machine had run for months without any sort of bind problem. I should kept the core files but I did notice that they segfaulted at location 0x41414141. This looked a little suspicious to me so I immediately cvsuped. The new version is: named 8.2.3-REL Sun Feb 18 11:47:44 EST 2001 and has not crashed since the 18th when I compiled it. Before it was crashing daily. Any ideas if named 8.2.3-T6B in 4.2-RELEASE has problems? -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_KRZ40DJXFQQMYJ0CCJD0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
