[cobalt-users] Re: [SA10331] Sun Cobalt update for nfs-utils



The post:   [SA10331] Sun Cobalt update for nfs-utils
from Dec 7th, with the Secunia advisory and links to .pkgs for some servers but not all, certainly no MIPS... post is at http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2003-December/098016.html

I don't see source for these anywhere to try apply to Qube 2's, although they (and other) flavors without .pkgs are listed as vulnerable.

Is it available and I'm overlooking it?  Or should I give up :)

The MIPS servers have never been supported by Sun. They were all EOL before Sun acquired Cobalt.

The SRPM can be had at

ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/SRPMS/nfs-utils-1.0.1-3.9.src.rpm

You could then build it on your Qube

	rpm -ivh nfs-utils-1.0.1-3.9.src.rpm
	cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
	rpm -ba nfs-utils

and install the new RPM(s)

	cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/mips/  (? not sure on the path)
	rpm -Uvh nfs-utils*.rpm

I haven't looked at it yet to know if the Qube RPM has any tweaks to it (do an 'rpm -qa | grep nfs' -- if there's a "C" in the filename, the RPM has been 'Cobaltized' somehow and you'd need to know more to proceed. If there's no "C" it's a 'regular' RPM and should be installable as-is.) I also don't know what kind of dependencies the newest version has, so there might be some issues there as well.
