Andrae Muys              "I have no wish to recite ... stratagems, for they
andrae at humbug.org.au     have all the same end in view, which is, to oblige
My stuff, Linux stuff        the enemy to make unnecessary marches in favor 
http://www.uq.edu.au/~cmamuys/   of our own designs." - Fredrick the Great.

I've got egg on my face... There is a nasty security hole in the
User-space NFS servers. If you are running an NFS server, please
upgrade as soon as possible to the latest release,
nfs-server-2.2beta35.tar..gz, which can be found at

ftp://linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/people/okir

All previous releases are vulnerable.

Caldera will, after they have passed testing, release fixed RPMs.
They will be available from

ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/OpenLinux/updates/1.2/
