While we're at it - suppose someone is the only administrator of a debian (stable) system connected to the internet permanently, with SSH, Postfix and Bind exposed to the 'big bad' world. Say that someone is lucky enough to take a vacation, and is not able to connect to the machine for two weeks. How dangerous is it to have 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' ran automatically every day? No, this scenario is not entirely hypothetically ;) Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
