    A fix for TurboLinux 2.0 USA and 2.0 Japanese to fix the 'sioux' DOS
    attack in Apache can be found at:
    
    ftp://ftp.pht.com/pub/turbolinux-2.0-updates/i386/apache-1.3.1-6TL.i386.rpm
    ftp://ftp.pht.com/pub/turbolinux-2.0-updates/SRPMS/apache-1.3.1-6TL.src.rpm
    
    After installing this update, make sure to stop and restart apache, either
    using xturboservice or manually from the commandline:
    
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
    (sometimes you must do that twice to get all the processes)
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
    
    Proper behavior after this update is applied is for the 'sioux' exploit
    program to simply report 'broken pipe' and exit, with no adverse effects
    on the server side.
