If you use Java 1.4.2, you may want to know that there is a potentially a major security hole in it.

As of 3 weeks ago, Sun was recommending everyone upgrade to Java 1.5 to address the issue. I don't know if 1.4.2 patches came out or not.
So, we should remove 1.4.2 and install 1.5?
I just checked and JRE 1.4.2_08 has the security issue resolved. Based on Mark Gray's e-mail it appears that SuSE has the corresponding patch in its latest 1.4.2 JRE. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
