Don't listen to this man -- he have not got a clue.
Hmmm - Really
At least that is my postulate against yours. I had to state it so people can judge between yours and mine.
With 2.2.18 either get a *fixed* 2.2.18 from the URL I provided earlier, or go with 2.2.19.
Why is SUSe 7.1 come with 2.4?
Hmm - when is the next 2.2 kernel due out?
That is probably gonna take a long time. But you should not have people who are running perfectly solid 2.2 boxed that does their job fine, head into an upgrade to 2.4. That is just wrong.
For that matter ... when was the last 2.0 kernel distributed...
What does the 2.0 kernel have to do with it?
Do not fool yourself to think that you need to go to 2.4.x for this fix.
And the next fix? What then - SUSe will have the upgrade path straight at that point?
It have been straight all the time. Now that you're so concerned with security I find it a bit odd that you're not subscribed to our security mailinglists. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
