Wow. Four new secuirty announcements :) Just for folks who are a little upset by SuSE's speed -- the slowest of these patches is about a week -- if I recall from bugtraq properly. Maybe upwards of ten days or so. The newest of these patches is from today or yesterday or so. Not too shabby. (If you disagree, think about micros~1 for a second -- I think you will agree. :) On Wed, Aug 25, 1999 at 10:54:08AM +0200, Thomas Biege wrote:
