Why is that a problem? Unless somebody could execute the code on the boxthen it is not a threat - closed systems, like WWW servers (most servers like that really) should not be in any danger. A multi-user box, or anything that can give shell access would be really worth upgrading to something that didn't have the bug! As to if it should be discussed on the nanog list - well, maybe not :) -- Leigh Porter - Wisper Bandwidth Plc - http://www.wisper.net GeekCode - http://saratoga.wisper.net:9999/~leigh/ Set UR PC 3 - http://www.linux.org
