Forgive the naive question, but on one of my Nikons, it is possible to

Hi there,
does anyone know if there's an implementation of the RIP version 2 routing

Careful reading, as opposed to blindly applying updates, is often
rewarded. If you aren't running telnetd, it follows that you are not
vulnerable to the most serious exploit addressed by the patch (remote
