I do recall the security notice. I read it on the website and from the security list. I was already planning a cvsup at the time and I asked a couple of BSD gurus I know if that when I update my sources by cvsup, would that take care of the problem. They told me it would. So a couple of days after I saw the security advisory I cvsuped from cvsup2.FreeBSD.org (i usually only use 2 or 3) and thought the problem was taken care of. I don't recall seeing any other advisories. ---- Jason jason@jason-n3xt.org On Sat, 29 Sep 2001, FreeBSD wrote: > Were you running a ver of FreeBSD prior to July 23, 2001?
