Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the bugtraq@securityfocus.com mailing list. I'm working for my owner, who can be reached at bugtraq-owner@securityfocus.com. Messages to you from the bugtraq mailing list seem to have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce message I received. If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces, I will remove your address from the bugtraq mailing list, without further notice. I've kept a list of which messages from the bugtraq mailing list have bounced from your address. Copies of these messages may be in the archive. To retrieve a set of messages 123-145 (a maximum of 100 per request), send an empty message to: <bugtraq-get.123_145@securityfocus.com> To receive a subject and author list for the last 100 or so messages, send an empty message to: <bugtraq-index@securityfocus.com> Here are the message numbers: 6906 6964 7000 7023 7027 7025 --- Enclosed is a copy of the bounce message I received.

However there are many ways to DoS a Solaris NFS server. One of them is to put a RedHat 7.3 (original kernel) on the network as an NFS client then initiate a large read over NFS and watch the Solaris NFS server become unresponsive to pings. As soon as you kill the read everything goes back to normal.
