and a traceroute to LDs favorite posting machine
the return times indicate that my end is a 9.6 ppp connection 2 hops away
from 4. Note also I didnt query intervening routers and hosts for
information.
Upstream hosts and/or routers may also be compromisable...

WELL WHAT DOES THIS TELL US TECHNICALLY SO FAR... THERE
IS MOST LIKELY NO EFFECTIVE FIREWALL PROTECTION BETWEEN LD'S FAVORITE MACHINE
AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD AS TRACEROUTE USES UDP PROBES ON RANDOM PORTS.
NO INCOMING UDP BLOCKAGE GENERALLY INDICATES THE SECURITY
OF THAT MACHINE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON PROXY/PACKET FILTERING TYPE ROUTERS AND
FIREWALLED DOMAINS

whether running regular or secure RPC(the latter requires nfscrack
to crack the secret exponent) this machine is most likely a sparc or compatible
running a given version of SUNOS 4.1.X?(check HINFO if available.)
a check should be made to see which network security patchs
have been applied to this host.
A probe of longs.lance.colostate.edu smtp port :
longs.lance.colostate.edu Sendmail 8.6.4/8.6.4 (LANCE 1.00) ready at xxx,xx2
xxx xxxx xx:xx:xx -xxxx
220 ESMTP spoken here
VRFY ld231782
250 L. Detweiler <ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>
EXPN ld231782
502 That's none of your business
quit
221 longs.lance.colostate.edu closing connection
OK SO FAR SO GOOD HIS MACHINE SHOWS A FAIRLY SECURE SMTP DAEMON.
EXAMINATION OF THAT REVISION AND SOURCE OF SENDMAIL IS
STILL UNDER QUESTION BECAUSE THE CURRENT VERSION 8.65 ADDS EVEN MORE SECURITY
