in inetd.conf - turn off all services you don't want. This includes rlogin, rtelnet, and telnet. in /etc/passwd set the last to /dev/null use tcpwrappers on all incoming services you left open (via inetd.conf). Do not run any stand alone servers you don't trust. That is all. Bill On Fri, 7

To answer your question. There is no way to upgrade a kernel without rebooting the machine. My firewall has been up 127 days. Its not connected to a UPS though and the last three times it went down was a power failure. I use the power failures (about once every four months) as excuses to do mai
