Sounds like someone is insecure about their uptime... ;-) I do understand your point thought.

You're obviously not installing all your security updates, then. Both the 2.4 and 2.6 Debian kernels have had security advisories posted within the past two years. In my experience, discussions about uptime typically involve approximately the same mentality as a penis-length competition. Especially since nobody really cares about what uptime(1) shows -- it's service level availability that counts. Who cares if your kernel hasn't been restarted but the email service was down for a month, or slow, or if your company's data is being harvested by a cracker who used some unpatched security holes to break in. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ -- Warren Luebkeman Founder, COO Resara LLC 888.357.9195 www.resara.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
