This bug is already known to the bitchx coders and has already been patched in the CVS. Shortly i will be posting the patches for 75p3 and 1.0c17 on www.bitchx.org and ftp.bitchx.org as soon as i get my hands on them. I'm not the maintainers of the port but I do run the bitchx.org sites, so, should the port be downloading from ftp.bitchx.org there will be no need to include a special patch in the port. -- Matt Watson TeraHertz Communications On Sun, 10 Dec 2000, Roman Shterenzon wrote: > Hi, > Aparently securityfocus has some information about this: > http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2087 > > There are some explanations in the helot.c - the exploit. > > P.S.
