I thought it was odd there where ~50 urgent security updates all in one evening. One of my computers managed to pull several deb updates before security.debian.org was taken off line: # ls -1 /var/cache/apt/archives/ bsdutils_1%3a2.11n-7_i386.deb console-data_1999.08.29-24.2_all.deb debianutils_1.16.2woody1_i386.deb lock mount_2.11n-7_i386.deb nano_1.0.6-3_i386.deb partial procmail_3.22-5_i386.deb procps_1%3a2.0.7-8.woody1_i386.deb util-linux_2.11n-7_i386.deb zlib1g_1%3a1.1.4-1.0woody0_i386.deb So, are these compromised updates or urgent patches? I'm guessing the former... // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 646-331-2027 <IXOYE>< Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george
