Hmmm... interesting. It seems as though some people DO have the patch disks to fix the security hole in ISC 2.2. However, Multiuser Systems (which used to be ISC Hollis) didn't late last week, and said they didn't know where it was. Most interesting indeed. It seems to be most spotty. Perhaps ISC should seek permission to post the fix.... even though it is large. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 808-7300], Voice: [+1 708 808-7200] Copyright 1991 Karl Denninger.

Now I have to go out and look at the disk ISC sent me: I think it covered 2.2, but I needed only the update to my 2.0.2. I get it promptly after an emailed request to ISC tech support, citing my serial # and system. BTW, this came after the telemarketer had called me from ISC and, when I inquired, disavowed any knowledge of the bug or fix. Email to tech support beats wading through the layers of automated telephoneattendant! -- Norman Kohn | ...ddsw1!nvk Chicago, Il. | days/ans svc: (312) 650-6840 | eves: (312) 373-0564
