Solaris 2.x ??? - I thought this is a BSD problem? Are you telling
me that *all* my Solaris boxes are vulnerable too?

Also local Sun support told me that the patch for Bug 1219835 has been
integrated into SunOS 4.1.4 and there probably won't be a patch for
older versions! Here's the bug info they sent me:

 Bug Id:     1219835
 Product:  sunos
 Category:  utility
 Subcategory:  other
 Release summary: 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.1.3_U1, 4.1
 Bug/Rfe:  bug
 State:  integrated

But now I'm really getting confused when I read the mail by Andy Cowley

So why would there be a test patch for SunOS 4.1.4 if it was fixed
in that release? I guess one of you guys is wrong.
