I think If I'll always install the newest SuSE security updates the system would be only a few days unsaved. If then someone would break into, s/he could not damage that much, I hope. Do you mean the time difference between the public announcement of the vulnerability and the patch release, or the time difference between patch release and patch installation? To keep the latter short, you should use fou4s (fou4s.gaugusch.at).
And there is one thing you didn't mention in your original posting: Backup!! You also didn't tell us, which services you are offering. Web only? User authentication? SMTP/POP/IMAP? ... Every service that is used to authenticate users should use encryption (SSL/TLS). regards, Markus -- _____________________________ /"\ Markus Gaugusch ICQ 11374583 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign markus@gaugusch.at X Against HTML Mail / \
