Can anyone tell me what has happened to sunsite.net.nz? It's been unreachable for several weeks now. As I use the gnu mirror there, I have in the meantime put one up at ftp://ftp.clear.net.nz/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/ -- it will probably take several hours before it is in sync with the master. -cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

The key benefit in attending APRICOT is to synchronize local and regional activities with the rapid developments in the wider Internet in an objective manner that distinguishes between operational realities and marketing 'hype' APRICOT's success is largely due to the excellence of its no-nonsense programme that is focused on Internet operational issues (i.e. issues surrounding the smooth day-to-day operation of Internet-based networks and services). Distinguished speakers and instructors from around the world are kindly denoting their time and expertise to help develop the skills and understanding necessary to grow a robust Internet infrastructure in the Asia Pacific. The intense week-long summit consists of seminars, workshops, clinics, tutorials, conference sessions and birds-of-a-feather (BOFs) meetings that have the following two goals :- 1) spreading and sharing the knowledge required for the operational stability and development of the Internet within the Asia Pacific region. 2) developing affinity groups that foster mutual support throughout the year. APRICOT targets those individuals that directly impact the operational deployment and stability of Internet protocol (IP)-based networks and services. These are namely network operators and engineers, senior executives and regulators. One of the fundamental principles of APRICOT presentations has been its vendor neutral objectiveness that provides for informed opinion. As such, APRICOT is not a marketing or sales-orientated conference and it is known that it highly discourages blatant sales or promotional activities within the conference itself. In essence, APRICOT creates a neutral educational forum that provides for frank discussions on the skills, policies and technologies that are critical for the smooth operation of the Internet's network and service infrastructure both regionally and internationally. APRICOT has a one-year technology horizon. This means to say that APRICOT is involved with those technologies that are either at the heart of today's Internet or those that are very likely to see operational deployment within the next 12 months (e.g. DNSsec). As APRICOT is only organised once a year, special attention is given to the creation of affinity groups that foster mutual support throughout the year. During the year, these affinity groups play a key role as a source of knowledge and experience. This year, APRICOT is jointly organised by:- The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute Korea Network Information Center The National Computerization Agency Korea Information Society Development Institute The Open Systems Infrastructure Association The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology APRICOT is only made possible through the generous contribution of time, talent, money and resources from our distinguished list of sponsors ... all of whom are committed to the continued stable growth of the Internet in our region :- AboveNet APIA APNIC Cable & Wireless HKT Cisco Systems Concert DACOM DreamLine Hanaro Telecom Hanson M Com Hitel IBM IDNS Juniper KDC Korea Telecom Level 3 Lucent Technologies Netpia Nortel Networks Onse Telecom Portal Software PSINet Qwest Teleglobe Unisphere Solutions Unitech We are expecting over 600 engineers and senior management to attend APRICOT this year. Therefore please make arrangements for you and your staff to register as early as possible to avoid disappointment. See you all in Seoul!

w95.fix2001 worm infection os doing the rounds...
by Chris Wedgwood 27 Jan '00

27 Jan '00

I couldn't really think of a better place to send this... A couple of days ago we noticed some of our customers seem to have been infected by the w95.fix2001 worm. In brief, this is a small windows executable that infects '95 and '98 machines when run (yes, some people do run executables without checking...). It watches for outgoing email and send copies of itself to the addresses it sees there from <admin__(a)local.domain> with a message-id of <Fix2001(a)microsoft.com>; under some circumstances it will replace command.com with malicious code that will toast the hard-disk when next booted. Note, this is not a new worm, most anti-virus vendors should have been able to detect this since mid-September 1999, but obviously, not everyone runs AV software. For more details, please see: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.fix2001.html Now, as I mentioned, it has been doing the rounds -- grep you maillogs for (or the message ID) admin__ and you should see it if it has come you way, certainly before we put a `block' in (see below) I saw a number of incoming messages to our customers and several outgoing to people at other NZ ISPs. Blocking this is pretty easy if you assume nobody actually uses admin__(a)some.domain as an email address, below is what our sendmail guru Olof <oolsson(a)clear.co.nz> did here to block it, which is working very well -- I hope this is of some use to someone. ###################################################################### # CLEAR Net CHECK_MAIL rule set ###################################################################### Scheck_mail # Canonify R$* $: $>3 $1 # Temporary fix to stop w95.fix2001 (remove this one at some stage) R admin__ <@ $* > $* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "Mail refused due to worm infection; refer to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.fix2001.html" -cw -- Chris Wedgwood chris.wedgwood(a)clear.co.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
