Well I am glad you can come up with a negative spin on a public notice 
to help those that are using this buggy software.... this hole was found 
last summer in a *binary* release and it was not disclosed at that time 
for whatever reason. Since then ListProc (CREN) has went under and I 
have lost the binaries and source that I was testing against. As far as 
the facilities to compile of course we have a linux box and other unix 
boxen (in fact we provide public access to them on a regular basis). 
ListProc needed a certain set of application tools to compile and I was 
really not interested in jumping through hoops to get the compile done. 
CREN itself could not compile the program and provide a binary to us and 
I am not really familiar with their development enviornment and I opted 
not to research the issue any further.... so sue me.

If you are refering to our page I really do not see how you can 
determine what boxen we have on our LAN simply by browsing our web page.

Maybe Episode IV http://oa.eiv.com:8080/ can help the community out and 
compile the source at source forge and let us all know how things go. 
Maybe you can even bring the shawncam online again so we can watch you 
work! Looking at your web page you are certainly one to talk about using 
the school library for "Important Security Consultant Work" since half 
your staff looks like family I suspect EIV is ran from your house rather 
than the library.
