The above borders on an outright > lie. I've already moaned. The correct answer is: Linux Prior to 2.0.31 and earlier are vulnerable to teardrop 2.0.32 and above are not. RedHat 5.0 ships with a 2.0.31+patches that is not vulnerable. RH5.0 update for the 2.0.32 kernel is on ftp.redhat.com update kernel and/or apply the patch to the existing kernel if you wish to remain running an older kernel for reasons such as compliance testing. I _hope_ someone in RH or Cert merely got teardrop and land muddled up. Alan
