["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  As an example to another thread and for Joe's edification.

An article up at TidBITS on  http://db.tidbits.com/article/9706
Apple's unexplained failure to patch the DNS vulnerability that we have
been  http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/25/1334254&tid=172
discussing for a
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/21/2212227&tid=172
few weeks now. "Apple uses the popular Internet Systems
Consortium BIND DNS server which was one of the first tools patched,
but Apple has yet to include the fixed version in Mac OS X Server,
despite
being notified of vulnerability details early in the process and being
informed of the coordinated patch release date.
