Hello Gurus,
        It's me again. But this time not to
trouble u folks. I was advised to resubmit the
summary with the actual contents of the summary .
Hence, I'm posting this again.

The SOLUTION is :

Install a patch_ID for a serious bug in statd running NFS
which upon breaking in allows gain root access though this statd
 bug. The patch-ID is 10416603 on 2.5.1 machines.

Thanks again,
Venu.
