    So many vulnerabilities affecting the lpd (line printer daemon) have
    come to light in recent months that CERT/CC has issued a compendium
    advisory urging all users and admins to review their system
    configurations and patch status
    http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-30.html 
    
    "All of these vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. In most
    cases, they allow an intruder to execute arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the lpd server," CERT explains.
    
    A table provided in the above advisory references systems with their
    correponding individual advisory.
    
    Affected systems include:
    
    -- BSDi BSD/OS Version 4.1 and earlier
    
    -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 and 2.1r4
    
    -- FreeBSD All released versions FreeBSD 4.x, 3.x, FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE,
       3.5.1-STABLE prior to the correction date
    
    -- Hewlett-Packard HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX releases 10.01,
       10.10, 10.20, 11.00, and 11.11
    
    -- IBM AIX Versions 4.3 and AIX 5.1
    
    -- Mandrake Linux Versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
    
    -- NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier
    
    -- OpenBSD Version 2.9 and earlier
    
    -- Red Hat Linux 6.0 all architectures
    
    -- SCO OpenServer Version 5.0.6a and earlier

    -- SuSE Linux Versions 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
    
    Quite a list -- no doubt soon to be framed on Bill Gates' office wall.
