Does any one know if you have to "re-start" your macine after installing two new SuSE security patches: ppp and/or yast2-config-inet ?
No, not the whole machine. If you were using the service (I applied the patches via dialin remotely so I was, the the actual service (in this particular case pppd) does need to. In my situation, it got 'restarted' because I only use pppd for incoming calls, thus when I logged out, it stopped, and restarted on the next call. If you connect via dialup or DSL maybe, you would need to restart your connection, which would stop and start pppd. The yast update would only need restarting if you were at that moment USING the app (i.e. it was running). A great help in this regard is if you have fou4s, you can run "fou4s --checkdeleted", which will list any running program using files that have changed (i.e. updated). HTH.
Reason for asking is I experienced my first "system ooops" on my SuSE 8.0 box (i586) on Saturday 1/25/03
Do you use DSL or dial up. Just a thought. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM. I say, by the grace of God, I am what I am.
