On 2001-04-11, Chris Angell scribbled: # Apr 11 21:38:03 named[49549]: XX /211.219.153.124/version.bind/TXT/CHAOS If you run nslookup with: set type=txt set class=chaos version.bind on most DNS servers running BIND, it will return the release/version string. So you are getting a lot of people who are trying to see which version of BIND you are running and try to hack it if it's a version that has vulnerabilities. Which version of BIND are you running? If you are running BIND 8.2.3-Txx, then you should upgrade to at least 8.2.3-REL. BIND 9.1.x-REL is recommended since it has dropped quite a bit of the legacy (and buggy) BIND code. BIND 8 and BIND 9 are available from Ports... just make sure that you cvsup/sync up your ports collection before building from your current ports collection. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
