[-- Attachment #1 --] Marc, I have a couple of questions. You use hostname and IP as a unique identifier for each host. For that reason, I have not submitted any of our systems. We use FreeBSD for sensitive security-related tasks, and we're loath to reveal that information. (When I submit or update ports, I always alter the uname information to "hostname.utdallas.edu" for that reason.) Can you tell me exactly what you do with those two pieces of data? Is there any way that information would be accessible from the internet? Finally, it looks like your number one problem is going to be maintainence. Right now you're showing a ".x" and a "F.x" release. Not sure if that's tampering or what, but it's obviously not legit. You also have a sudden influx of hosts from Armenia. Again, don't know if they're legit or not, but keeping up with that stuff is going to require eyes-on type manual labor. I hope you've planned for that. Pending your (statisfactory) answer to the hostname-IP questions above, I'll submit our stuff. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 010 + 0 *H N00AA=e0 *H 010 UUS10U VeriSign, Inc.1<0:U3Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G21:08U1(c) 1998 VeriSign, Inc. - For authorized use only10UVeriSign Trust Network0 990331000000Z 090330235959Z01'0%U The University of Texas System10UVeriSign Trust Network1;09U2Terms of use at https://www.verisign.com/rpa (c)991200U)Class 2 CA - OnSite Individual Subscriber1-0+U$The University of Texas at Dallas CA00 *H 0 "zھ6p`0`S/5ɨ)=d}чTxxLIA ҥ~BQNths]1)%c#Dj9FXúKzI#C2 00)U"0 010UPrivateLabel1-1400 `HB0DU =0;09`HE0*0(+
