HI Chet, As you are aware, a sixth security issue has been discovered. Due to the nature of the vulnerability, I believe that it's best to break backward compatibility as done by FreeBSD and NetBSD until a proper patch is developed. We are lucky to have security researchers reporting their findings publicly. What about others that don't ? I strongly believe that it's much safer to have it disabled, and have a complete and comprehensive audit of the source code, and then re-enable it.
Am I the only one who is wondering: Who is paying Chet to do this? -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNP, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 8444 780677 +44 (0) 7584 634135 http://www.netsecspec.co.uk giles.coochey () netsecspec co uk
