    To my knowledge there are 3 different versions of the mountd remote
    exploit going around. I found a bin on my shell server from a user and ran
    it on a outdated box of my own and it did work. I have not seen the
    source.. only thing bin. So I  do know there is a remote exploit going
    around.
