its already there. I believe it was BIND 9.17.10. If that isn't exactly correct, its somewhere close.

You Sir, are definitely BOFH material. Congratulations.

I'd qualify it as a bit more than a word processor, but Adobe FrameMaker on Solaris FTW !

Not necessarily a linux fan, but since the start, I've been at odds as to why this has been labeled a linux vulnerability.

Its a problem/vulnerability with the application, not the operating system. And any Unix (or Unix clone) that has an earlier/non patched version of sudo should be affected.

Why pick on linux for a sudo problem? Head scratcher here.

elected official - we've got a problem, and we need to track it with software

worker bee #1 - I know, we'll use a microsoft product

IT worker - now we have 2 problems.

I'm giving them a bit more of a chance for success given they are from Apple, but all of this rings of the ex google superstars that left to start their own replacement search engine - kewl - or something like that.

Fingers crossed for this group that this project isn't a dud

5 to 7 years. That has been what I've used my current iPhone for timewise. One went to my wife when she had an accident with hers.

My late, but 1st Gen 16Gb iPhone still works just great. 2G cell network is gone, so I'll never use that again, but everything else works just fine.

On on hand, this is great news, for those who choose to move to this release.

OTOH, it doesn't help me my my i-devices on 10.3.x. I'm sticking with 10.3.x, if I move forward, I loose my ability to run 30+ 32-bit apps (that will probably never be upgraded by their developer), many of which I paid for.

I believe you really meant to say "field engineer".

Pun intended.

Back in the day Dell had their own Sys V Unix.

Now.... not so much.

Plan B.

Just go and buy a used Cisco or Juniper router off of eBay or Craigslist.

The Sys V rc directories are still in place and functional in current Solaris 10 & 11 versions, plus all of the various Solaris based distro's.

At least I'm safe with all my servers on C Shell. Thank you Bill Joy!

I have long since given up the use of passwd's for DSA keys in ssh.

I had always considered Bob Beck's post the definitive guide concerning ssh'ing as root, but it seems a number of users feel otherwise.

I am happy that this 9.x release occurred for the people who need it, but the 10.x version will install, out of the box, with ZFS root straight out of the box.

Either way, you don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict that your favorite OS + ZFS is a big step forward.
