A related question to Bob's--any impact on U of Delaware's ntp daemon 4.0x
(
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/)?
--------- original msg below ---------------
Dear all,
A major security hole (remote root hack) has been discovered in xntpd on
other Unix systems. Does anyone know whether Tru64 is vulnerable to this?
I have killed all my xntpd processes pending clarification...better the
clock drifting a few seconds than a root compromise.
Thanks,
Bob
