Hi @ll: I'm going to run a POP server in a SuSE 6.4 box. The 2.53 version which ships with original 6.4 is buggy (remote root possible) so I downloaded the SuSE updated packages at */updates/6.4: pop: A few POP Servers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File: pop-2000.6.7-0.i386.rpm Version: 2000.6.7 Size: 1252 kB Date: Thu 08 Jun 2000 Source: pop-2000.6.7-0.src.rpm Security: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Security update for qpopper in pop_msg(), also APOP support enabled, POP_TIMEOUT = 600 and NO UPDATE ON ABORT Upon installing, the banner says it's also 2.53 (version). I supposed it will be a *patched* version. There have been various pop3 related bugs, so I'm wondering if this rpm is really secure. I've also downloaded the */updates/7.0 rpm. It says: pop: A few POP Servers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File: pop-2000.9.29-0.i386.rpm Version: 2000.9.29 Size: 1252 kB Date: Fri 29 Sep 2000 02:33:37 PM CEST Source: pop-2000.9.29-0.src.rpm Security: No ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Fixed program popauth. Only necessary for qpopper with apop authorization. My Q is: Why isn't there a similar patch for 6.4 distro? Finally, what I've done is going to Qualcom web and get 3.1.2 (latest) popper. I think this option is the most secure, isn't it? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
