To see the list of affected routers, have a look @ http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/561444 Hmm, that page show Unknown for every router brand that I’ve ever seen. Looks like a bad time to buy a router. Well, not really, unlisted brands (like the WD I just mentioned) don’t use the affected software, and only affected models are listed. Only one Linksys model was listed, for example; cisco/linksys has dozens of router models. They estimate there are 18 million affected devices out there..there are *hundreds* of millions of these kinds of routers in use. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
