Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

RPC bug

I haven't seen this on on here yet, so here goes: there is a CERT
advisory, CA-2003-10, re: buffer overflow in the RPC libraries,
affecting Sun and other vendors. It isn't clear whether there are
exploits currently, but this may have a wide impact. 

Looks like there will be lots of work to do, esp. remaking static
applications...does this affect the LDM?
