Hi All: I just loaded RH 8.0 for the 1st time. It's kernel version is 2.4.18-14. From simply examining version numbers, I would infer that this kernel does NOT include the directory indexing feature. However, I have seen other messages mentioning that RedHat will (in some cases) backport code to fix a bug without breaking dependancies. Can anyone confirm one way or the other whether a stock RH8.0 kernel contains directory indexing? Alternatively, is there a means of testing or checking to see if it is present? TIA A.
