Re: identd hack

[blh () nol net (Brett L. Hawn)]

After several hours of checking logs and other material I've come to the
realization that the hack used to attack one of my machines was indeed the
sendmail/identd hack referenced some time ago. I apparently missed this
discussion so I'm looking for some basic information and perhaps a pointer
to a fix for sendmail. I run sendmail 8.7.5 on several boxes, some of which
are rather important so its best I get this fixed as soon as possible. I've
made identd run as an unprivelged user with no shell and no password (it
works) but this is only a workaround rather than a true fix.
