sendmail and bind

when yet another security flaw in sendmail was revealed, i went through that momentary gloaty period where i'm happy i'm not responsible for any machines running sendmail. then the system updater kicked in on my desktop to download apple's mac os x update to fix the bundled sendmail. oh well, at least the machine is firewalled off and doesn't receive mail.

at the time, i made a joke about it now being bind's turn for a security flaw to turn up. oops, it happened sooner than i could have expected.
