If I remember correctly, IMLI messages are formatted in some SNMP-like way, and if this rw community does exist on some loads of IOS, it probably has more to do with over-enthusiastic software-reuse within the operating system than the desire to leave an administrative hole open for after-hours access. But, nonetheless, I'm told this 'exploit' is sufficient to disable ATM interfaces and cause LANE to malfunction (as various ATM parts of the MIB are exposed). Doesn't sound all that good to me. What's more, the cisco documented 'fixed' version for the 11.1CC release train doesn't appear to be on the download site. All this just goes to prove that "ATM is evil". --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
