An unofficial but trustworthy word about the WORM and ULTRIX from Digital

No official fix has come out from Digital regarding the sendmail/fingerd
worm hole (whoah!) because ULTRIX machines are not affected. ULTRIX sendmail
has been compiled with the debug feature turned off and fingerd does not
exist on ULTRIX.
Field test systems (ULTRIX 3.0) do have these holes but FT sites were
communicated with personally. ULTRIX 3.0 will not have these bugs/holes
when it ships next month.
