Message-ID: <20010423204825.H26083@vnl.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.15i X-Operating-System: Linux, the choice of a GNU generation Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I'm sure you've run across this one: http://netfilter.samba.org/security-fix/ I'd like to know how official this patch is, ie how well checked out? I'd hardly want to cure one problem and create another. And I'm uncomfortable with it at first glance: I'd have to find figure out why it is returning immediate success at that point, or rather prove to myself that it is just skipping making the bad table entries. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Use Linux: A computer Dale Amon, CEO/MD is a terrible thing Village Networking Ltd to waste.
