IIRC 2.4.18 kernel has a local root vulnerability and if the number attached is a date, probably isn't patched. With "apt-get search kernel-image" to see what kernel package are available, and "apt-get install package-name" to install it, after that you need to check for your boot manager (lilo or grub) to boot the new kernel... -- Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
