Right. If I remember correctly, openSSH 2.1.1 *was* vulnerable :( There's no need to upgrade to debian for this... What I do is just mirror Redhat's updates directory (a mirror in Israel already exists in Netvision, by the way, I think it is in redhat.netvision.net.il), and then periodically (or when I read something interesting in bugtraq) just "rpm -Fvh" all these updates. If you already mirror these updates (after all, iglu.org.il contains mirrors, doesn't it?), then it is trivial to use them! :) The new openSSH is in the updates directory for probably over 8 months... please check... -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Dec 23 2001, 8 Tevet 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |If I am not for myself, who will be for http://nadav.harel.org.il |me?
