What are you talking about? RH contrib? Some other site where you can get kernels packaged as RPMs? We're talking about an enterprise environment here, OFFICIAL RH errata. Whether or not this is the right way to go, this is where people look. Why don't you head on over to ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pu

This is much worse than it seems. First of all, a DoS attack could be very serious for a large site, as you mentioned. but of course, most large sites today are hosted on machines with no local servers. In addition, this could cause loss of data (imagine your machine freezing - yes, freezing, the

Well, if YOU CHECK you will find that there are RPM's for kernel 2.0.38 for redhat 5.x - compiled and ready. Just rpm -Uvh kernel-2.0.38(whatever the name is) and thats it.. Hetz Omer wrote: > > Irrelevant. > > Most people will not upgrade the kernel on their own > to the latest stable versio

This was posted to BugTraq today, and it seemed important enough to pass on (even though if you are a sysadmin and do not regularly read BT, you might deserve what you get). It's what I'd call a HUGE problem, not merely a big problem (unless of course you have no local users). In any case, I'd ch
