Thinking that I might wish to upgrade my 9.2-STABLE system (to 9.3-STABLE), I decided to run "# /usr/local/sbin/portaudit -Fda" only to find that someone at FreeBSD.org has borked the system: unix# /usr/local/sbin/portaudit -Fda fetch: http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/auditfile.tbz: Not Found Couldn't fetch database. Old database restored. portaudit: Download failed. I think some folks have moved on (to the new system) without having given any thought to those folks (like me!) who are just a tad bit behind the herd... :-( See the security risks here: http://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/ [[Note: portaudit.FreeBSD.org resolves to vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/]] unix% dig -t A portaudit.FreeBSD.org ; <<>> DiG 9.9.3-P2 <<>> -t A portaudit.FreeBSD.org ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 60842 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;portaudit.FreeBSD.org.
