There was a Linux rpc.statd attack I saw last year which looked like
this....  I just did some hunting & found some refs to it at this url:
http://www.havelmark.com/~rmartin/31337.html  theres a link there to
RedHat with the patch... no idea what effect, if any, it would have on
FreeBSD.... my guess would be none.
