  Hello,

  thanks for the advice, but I was hoping to delay this until 2.2R
  came out (in two months, supposedly).  The security holes that
  I know about, and did something about are:
  
  	mount_union, mount_msdos, man...
  
  	suidperl
  
  	iijppp
  
  	rdist...
  
  Aside from this new libc thing, you're telling me that there are
  others as well?  Is there an easy way to fix the libc problem
  while I wait for 2.2R?

Upgrade to 2.1.6's libc.
  
  thanks,
