With absolutely no disrespect to don intended, there was considerable discussion on -security about whether his was the best solution. *I* personally couldn't tell you one way or the other, but I think that we should at least give the NetBSD solution a look before we commit to one fix or another. Also, it would be nice if we did come up with an "official" response, a security advisory and a patch since this bug was widely publicized on bugtraq almost two weeks ago now. Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** "Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign." - William Jefferson Clinton, 1974 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
