Roman: could you expand on this idea a bit? I have a server still running
6.2, and have been concerned lately about not being able to keep it up to
date with current patches.
I took care of the recent SSH problems by compiling current SSH and SSL from
source, and simply disabled PHP to deal with that vulnerability.
Are you saying there is an easy procedure for using 6.4 RPMs on "end of
life'ed" distributions? If so, I'd be very happy to hear about it. Or should
I make plans to move the domains to other, more current machines?
Thanks.
