If I remember right, there were vulnerabilities in the 2.2 kernel that were never addressed so you could experience a local root exploit if you have untrusted users on your system (or somebody gets in as a normal user). Re-reading the original post, however, I see that the system is an Ultra 450 which implies Sun, not Intel, so some of my suggestions and observations may not be accurate - I've not worked with Linux on Sun before. I've still got a production mail server sitting on a P2/400 running RHL 6.1. We were "fine" until until we got slammed with 40K spam messages last week :-(. This system is in the process of being replaced with a dual Xeon 3.4Ghz running RHEL 4. A small upgrade (but long overdue). -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
