You'll want to make sure that the machine you compile on has an operating system that is not newer (either the same patch level or older) than the system you intend to run on. Compiling on an older system and running on a newer one should always be fine. Going the other way is "often" fine as well, but there's no real guarantee. The model of CPU and brand of motherboard and box shouldn't have much to do with this.

It works well and doesn't involve compiling anything. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ security-discuss mailing list [email protected]
