X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 15:05:07 -0000 Hello - This is an invitation to start a war against OS developers. telnetd is infected with a national security backdoor in all non-source = compiled versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. If you download the = source code for telnetd and compile it to compare the file size of the = "stock" or "out of the box" version of telnetd versus the = source-compiled version - you will clearly see a difference - which is = the backdoor. This information should be forwarded to CERN and the BSD = and Linux development teams. It is to our knowledge that ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE BACK-DOORS IN = THEIR OUT-OF-THE-BOX DAEMONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY USE! All versions of Linux and SunOS with in.telnetd are also infected. The portmapper and most stock daemons in all OS's are infected if the = compilation from direct source code results in a file size that is = different from stock.
