I have not seen my response to this post to the list, so I am sending it again. Sorry, but this information is incorrect. Although Patch 981 is probably going to be the correct patch, it is not finished and is not available for distribution. Please, do not contact your SGI service provider for something that is not available yet. When the patch does become available, a SGI Security Advisory will be publicly released with full information. Thank you. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAwUBMKOe2N/gaPTZpC7tAQEBCQP+JDhlkhoQKfGihDji3IgzaLnts+NL9+PY p9M53/MDdIrXKY96aOhno9oDRNAvdZRmanvgM85l0U/ONk9YmIfE4eePOz8UQ/tG FCD7u+OXhNOfOs5XEz8z/X1R5+VKFR8jqmTmKP01jptLtROyOdqYUEBEUtnuAYkk Tfy0tHutWX8= =TiFz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- _____________________________________________________________________ Miguel (Michael) J.
