You really need to take those 4.3 CDs and reinstall. Mainly because that system
may have been successfully compromised. Are you running tripwire or anything
that can assure you that the system hasn't been compromised? If not, the only
way to be sure that your system is safe is:

1. reinstall all software from trusted media (CDs are good)
2. Change all passwords

Someone may have compromised your system and replaced certain programs with
compromised versions that have back doors. They also may have cracked your
password file and know all your passwords. If this is the case, upgrading
named isn't going to do much to stop this particular person.
Schedule a time and do the two steps above.
