You should always take a look at bug reports if you're worried about a security issue. Here's the bug report on this for Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=212416 According to the bug report, woody is not vulnerable. ISS says that versions 1.2.7 through 1.2.9rc2 (and possibly versions prior to 1.2.7) are vulnerable. I suspect that someone somewhere has since tested ealier versions (woody runs a patched 1.2.4) and decided that those versions are not vulnerable. It would be nice if the bug report noted on what evidence stable is not affected. > All I could think of for the moment was disabling donwloading via FTP > globally. Any ideas?

Re: splitting a subnet in an odd way
Leonardo, I may not exactly understand what you are trying to do but if the only thing you are trying to accomplish is firewalling the machines differently, couldn't you just: 1) assign them different gateways. The "open" machines would use the "real" gateway. The other two groups would use the trusted side of the two firewalls as gateways. The firewalls would use your "real" gateway to forward the packets to/from the world. The "two" firewalls could be one Linux box with a couple interfaces and appropriate firewall rules. 2) just write the firewall rules to do what you want. Why not just write your firewall rules to do what you want? Pass IPs x to y without filtering, etc., etc. This seems most straight forward. Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Service, Inc.

Re: splitting a subnet in an odd way
You forget one thing: there are 10 other machines (addresses 3 to 13) that need not to be firewalled, and must be accessible from ANY pother ost either internally and externally, without passing the FW. The second group really is not a problem, since are just virtual addresses for a machine in the first group, that self-firewall ! However user in the third, internal group should access these machines direclty. About proxy-arping 230 machines: what commands would you suggest for dcoing that , the way i used for a small group did havoc on some network monitoring tools !
