Chris,Another way to check to see whether named/BIND has been patched, is to log into the machine via SSH (you'll need to be logged in as root), and run "/usr/sbin/named -v". This will output the BIND release currently installed. You should be at 8.2.3. There are also some 9.x.x releases floating around, but from the sounds of things on Bugtraq, you probably want to be on 8.2.3 at the current time.
Hope this helps. Charlie At 02:16 PM 2/11/01 +0100, you wrote:

If you do not see any other patches in the software list, then the BIND exploit is *NOT* patches on your machine.
