It depends of course on what you are running on this system, but at the very least you will be concerned with the kernel. In theory you can use any newer kernel, but usually you need to stick to the known features and bugs of the kernel you are running. So the best source for security updates is using sources from FC4 and patching them with security fixes of issues being announced. But that was exactly what FL was about and is too much work for a single person/server. So the true answer is: There are no security updates for FC4 and no healthy way to provide some short of resurrecting FL. My advice is to try to harden security in other ways (iptables, fail2ban etc) and schedule either an upgrade to FC6 or a reinstall to RHEL4/5 as soon as possible. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
