Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
sorry to interrupt this thread, but this probably means, you did not |
| 7 |
perform any kernel updates on that machine for over two years and |
| 8 |
therefore the system is vulnarable to some kernel bugs which where |
| 9 |
discovered during this time. On a DNS machine a privilege escalation bug |
| 10 |
is even more severe. I strongly recommend to secure this machine. |
| 11 |

Regards, |

A lot is virtualized with xen and its pure joy being able to livemigrate several virtual hosts from A to B without any service disturbance. Maintaining these server is pure fun. Im just convinced that Gentoo is made for datacenters ;) Well of course managing all these portage trees and keeping software up to date can keep you busy for some time but I assume that this is not different to any other distri. |
