X-PMC-CI-e-mail-id: 8036 Hello, Last week, I questioned whether I should stick to Wietse Venema's rpcbind replacement after Sun's security notice regarding its rpcbind. I got several e-mail suggestions. The answer seems to be I can still use his rpcbind replacement, but I should upgrade to 2.0. So I did just that today. To my pleasant surprise there is version 2.1 at ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/security. rpcbind_2.1.{README,tar.gz,targ.z.sig} This 2.1 includes the O_EXCL option, Wietse mentioned in his e-mail posting. (Thank you, Wietse.) I followed the instruction in README (and made sure I did exactly similar procedure back 1.1 by looking in the old directory I keep just in case.). After compiling which took me a while since I moved the tcp_wrapper directory around [libwrap.a is needed by rpcbind linking], replacing the rpcbind was very easy to do. I just followed the procedure in README. So far, I have not seen any problem. (I have been running it for just a few hours, though.) Thank every one for these wonderful tools and helpful tips via private e-mails. -- Ishikawa, Chiaki ishikawa@personal-media.co.jp.NoSpam or (family name, given name) Chiaki.Ishikawa@personal-media.co.jp.NoSpam Personal Media Corp. ** Remove .NoSpam at the end before use ** Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan 142
