I received a security bug fix diskette 2 days ago (Mar 7, 1991). The fix seems to work, I didn't have any difficulties installing it. A letter from ISC accompanied the fix, as well as detailed instructions on the installation procedure. Although the hole shouldn't have gone so long without fixing, the ISC folks involved with coordinating the fix and rolling out the diskettes to customers have done a good job given such short notice. -- Arthur W.
