RE: Kaminsky suggests long-term fix will still have to be determined, but patch now, or pay soon

Like in the movie "Poltergeist", "There here."
Well at least there is a patch to this bug so to add to the increasing load voice about this, "Please patch your systems ASAP!". However we need to get a long term fix for this soon since this is a temporary patch is doesn't truly address the deeper issue about this bug.
You can use djbdns in which the developer described this issue in 2002 and djbdns is not vulnerable this. It is a pity to allow this issue fester for that long before any will fix it.
I see the attack attempts on my system starting this morning and its is scary that how fast this attack occurred after releasing the exploit.
