Reply-to: avolio@gildor.dec.com (Frederick M. Avolio) A short note on the recently reported virus (really worm). The debug option in sendmail which allowed the worm to enter a system is not turned on in ULTRIX with the exception of ULTRIX Field Test 3.0 (and UWS Field Test 2.0). So, ULTRIX systems are not affected (unless you installed a different sendmail version). Fred

Perhaps we are the only site which hasn't upgraded, but just in case... The debug option in sendmail is _ON_ in version 1.1 Ultrix. -- {harvard,mit-eddie,think}!eplunix!das David Allan Steffens 243 Charles St., Boston, MA 02114 Eaton-Peabody Laboratory (617) 573-3748 Mass.
