-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Recently there was discovered a IP fragmentation trick that could crash a Linux machine. A patch was quickly released and fixed the problem. According to some though, the problem isn't confined to Linux. I was told that it would affect other IP implementations as well. (example: I am told that a Win95 patch has been released.) Does anyone know if this affects FreeBSD? If so, is there a patch in the works (hopefully against 2.2.5 -- please please please!) and how will we be informed? For information on the bug and the Linux patch, There's something about this on http://www.linux.org, I think... - --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
