We've a couple debian systems to patch for the new sshd problems. On one of them that is monitored closely and patched quickly. The other is patched less quickly.
The system that is patched less quickly claims to be up to date but nobody remembers patching it. There are some wierd things about file sizes & strings on the less closely monitored system. Are we missing something? apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; [snip] 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I've looked (quickly) at the man pages, but am a bit short of sleep and have probably missings some basic answers. Where are the logs? Is there a way to force a package update/re-install? Further some important files have different sizes # less closely monitored system -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 230216 Oct 13 2002 /usr/bin/ssh # more closely monitored system -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 230248 Sep 16 22:07 /usr/bin/ssh and different strings: # less closely monitored #strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep OpenSSH OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-4 OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-4 # more closely monitored #strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep OpenSSH OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.2 OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.2 # both systems have sources.list as: deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian woody main contrib non-free deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
