I've got egg on my face... There is a nasty security hole in the
User-space NFS servers. If you are running an NFS server, please
upgrade as soon as possible to the latest release,
nfs-server-2.2beta35.tar.gz, which can be found at

ftp://linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/people/okir

All previous releases are vulnerable.

Caldera will, after they have passed testing, release fixed RPMs.
They will be available from

ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/OpenLinux/updates/1.2/
