Upgrade to 2.2.10:
Fixes a buffer overrun in the code
used to support the 'manglin method = hash'
smb.conf option.
from peter@, little modification by me;
a dozen remote holes being fixed, that we shipped with. Weeks later
things have not improved, and there continue to be problems reported
to bugtraq, and respective band-aids - but it is clear the ethereal
team does not care about security, as new protocols get added, and
nothing gets done about the many more holes that exist.
Maybe someone will at least privilege separate this one day, and then
the OpenBSD stance with respect to this may change.
Encouraging people to run broken software by distributing packages
with known security holes is not desired by any of us.
The Python IRC library is intended to encapsulate the IRC protocol at a
quite low level. It provides an event-driven IRC client framework. It
has a fairly thorough support for the basic IRC protocol, CTCP and DCC
connections.
* When the -u and/or -g flags are set, cvsyncd now uses set[ug]id()
instead of sete[ug]id(). Note that the pidfile is created
after set[ug]id() are done.
* Some performance improvements and code cleanups. Especially
handling rcsfiles which contain very large number of revisions
is improved.
Amap is a next-generation scanning tool, which identifies applications
and services even if they are not listening on the default port by
creating a bogus-communication and analyzing the responses.

PySNMPis a Python implementation of SNMP v.1/v.2c engine. Its general
functionality is to assemble/disassemble SNMP messages from/into given
SNMP Object IDs along with associated values. PySNMP also provides a few
transport methods specific to TCP/IP networking.
These modules provide a basis for parsing snort configuration files and
rules, allow tools to be built that muck with rulesets with less effort.
An example tool, snortconfig, is included. snortconfig was the reason
these modules were built.

This module supports getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() to intend to
enable protocol independent programing. IPv6 related defines such
as AF_INET6 are also included.

IO::Socket::INET6 provides an object interface to creating and using
sockets in either AF_INET or AF_INET6 domains. It is built upon the
IO::Socket interface and inherits all the methods defined by IO::Socket.

This is a maintenance release of Samba 2.2.8a to address the problem with
user password changes after applying the Microsoft hotfix described in
KB828741 to Windows NT 4.0/200x/XP clients.
This module is an implementation of the BGP-4 inter-domain routing
protocol. It encapsulates all of the functionality needed to establish
and maintain a BGP peering session and exchange routing update
information with the peer. It aims to provide a simple API to the BGP
protocol for the purposes of automation, logging, monitoring, testing,
and similar tasks using the power and flexibility of perl. The module
does not implement the functionality of a RIB (Routing Information Base)
nor does it modify the kernel routing table of the host system. However,
such operations could be implemented using the API provided by the
module.
