I forgot to mention that the TCP attack against the font server is
(obviously) only applicable to font-servers listening to TCP. (Which is
probably only the case for systems serving x-terminals.)
Thanks to people
who pointed this out.
If we want to kill a font-server running on the Mandrake/Re
Confirmed, on Mandrake 8.0.
I should, however, point out that I was only able to take down the
font-server as a local user, and not from a remote host. This could be a
bandwidth problem, caused by the fact that I only have a measly 10Mb/s
LAN.
Then again, my urandom bandwidth is less than half
