Hi,

We have been running linux servers for over 2 years, and today we we hit
many times with some sort of hack that attacks memory and causes a
kernel panic and locks the computer.

We had several machines, 486-100 to pentium 133's with linux 1.2.13 to
linux 2.0.31

www.linux.org mentions a eggdrop patch, but I can't seem to get it.
What is the eggdrop bug, how is it exploited and can I have the patch if
someone has got it.

Thanks In Advance
