[KLUG Members] Bruce's security newsletter (not a regular thing). :-)

[Bruce Smith]

If you haven't heard, a MAJOR security hole was recently found that
effects MANY Unix systems and Linux distributions running sendmail.

If you run sendmail on any OS, PLEASE CHECK FOR UPGRADES!  This also
effects Unix, as I had to patch all of my HP-UX boxes.  And it does NOT
matter if your sendmail servers are behind a firewall!  If your sendmail
server accepts email from anywhere, then you could be compromised by a
regular email message relayed through your firewall.

=======================================================================

Also, I know that a number of people on this list use IPCOP, and these
fixes sound major, so I forward this announcement, this one time only.

If you use IPCOP, pleases subscribe to their announce list.  That way we
don't need to clutter up our list with this kind of stuff.  I will NOT
forward any future IPCOP announcements here.

The IPCOP _announce_ list is only for announcements, not disccusion, and
is VERY LOW traffic.  Well worth subscribing!
