I am killing the FoolProof thread. To many posts with to many ideas of how to get past the thing. Maybe someone will write a comprehensive article on the thing and be done with it. I am killing the tcpd -DPARANOID thread. DJB, with his usual candor, is correct in as much as the option does not stop the mentioned attack against the r-services. Nonethless, the point is fairly moot as there exist many other attacks against the same services. Repeat after me, "IP address and host name based authentication without cryptographic controls is bad". In other news, BugTraq past is 26000 subscriber some time ago.
