Hai List, i'm realy scared about this words. I remember: the reason was a big hole in the Linux Kernel, known since April. "Red Hat" has strongly recommend to apply a patch to their Kernels! I think, so many as possible linux users should know about this bug and there is no secure solution for the SuSE Kernel! friendly Regards Andreas Wahlert > > Get the latest kernel from Hubert's directory at > > ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/.

It seems like that there are not too many people willing to discuss such detailed and specialized matter in a mailing list that is bound to a distribution/a vendor. After all, all relevant mailing lists that deal with kernels, networking and discrete subsystems are not distribution-specialized, and sometimes I tend to believe that the discussions on distributor-hosted mailing lists are somewhat emotional and less rational. I'm very please to see that this is rarely the case with suse-security. Anyway, I think you could meet people with the same questions and fitting answers at suse-linux-e@suse.com. The volume is not too high on this list.
