I like to raise the severity of this bug, since is may also be used for a DOS attack. A small script that does a lot of calls to rstatd (for e.g. using rup), you can fill up the log files in /var/log.
IMO this is also very useless data, that is only needed for debugging. If you do not want to debug rpc.rstatd this data sould not be send to syslog. I know no other program that produces other debug output by default. I recommend commenting out the this line in the sources: getdata.c: syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "interface: %s", iface); -- regards Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
