Yep, from copious use of UTSL[ 1 ], the rpc.statd(8) manpage, the red-hat-weenie web site (www.redhat.com/support/erratta/RHSA-2000-043-03.html), the particle physics guys ( www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-17.html), and an old usenet- archived message from one of our own highly esteemed community, ( archives.neohapsis.com/freebsd/2000-08/0163.html), I sort-of came to the conclusion that my portmapper and rpc ports should be monitored for a while. Thus I'm pretty sure that's what's filling up the logs. The FreeBSD art I'd like to see is Chuck roasting Tux on the end of the pitchfork, over a stack of burining $Msoft cd-roms and red hats. Hmm, dinner, roast pengin-kabob , then back to work. [ 2 ]. [ 1 ]. Use The Source, Luke. [ 2 ]. Although, I have to admit, some of the tiny embedded Linux solutions seem to pretty good, so maybe Chuck doesn't eat the hors d'ouvres. > >On Tue, Jan 23, 2001 at 10:48:50AM -0500, FreeBSD Mailing List Info wrote: >> One big diffrence I have discovered is that SUSE and Debian users >> appear to be much smarter that the Red Hat weenies, who apparently haven't >> figured out that this rpc.statd exploit, which will make many Red Hat machines >> wide open to being rooted, just doesn't work on FreeBSD.
