As advised on http://www.debian.org/security/ I have added deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list. I am now proceeding to a security update The following packages will be upgraded: bind9 bind9-host dnsutils file libbind9-0 libcurl3 libdns22 libisc11 libisccc0 libisccfg1 libkrb53 liblwres9 libmagic1 librpcsecgss3 libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.8 openssl rsync 18 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 8811kB of archives. After unpacking 291kB disk space will be freed. Christian, I believe that nebka is firewalled at 53? Can you get 53 to be opened? Starting bind fails. Investigating...
