Lsof Binaries
 
I do not recommend that you use a pre-compiled lsof binary and I no
longer provide any.
 
It is important that you compile lsof for yourself from the distributed
sources to allow its Configure script to tailor the binary to your
system.
 
*************************************************************
* DON'T TRY TO USE AN LSOF BINARY, COMPILED FOR ONE UNIX OS *
* VERSION, ON ANOTHER. *
*************************************************************
 
On some UNIX dialects lsof versions may be even more restricted by
architecture types.
 
*************************************************************
* AVOID USING BINARIES FOR LSOF REVISIONS BELOW 4.63. THEY *
* ARE VULNERABLE TO THE STANDARD I/O DESCRIPTOR ATTACK. *
* (See 00FAQ for more information.) *
