hello sean,, i copy your original post below. this is the bit of concern (to me): "you should _definitely_ upgrade, because there's a root-priviledge security hole in that kernel[2]."
i am trying to reset my pW with some great amount of difficulty (to me). i have this kernel,, is it possible the box has been compromised? see my post - "its been up so long_ root is jello" thankyou. RM -------------------------------------------------- hi roberto, is this machine for your own personal use, or have you given accounts on it to other people? if the case is the former, and it works fine for you for what you need, i don't think you need to bother (though it is definitely a worthwhile learning experience[1]). however, if you give other people access to this machine, you should _definitely_ upgrade, because there's a root-priviledge security hole in that kernel[2]. hth sean __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
