Thanks :) On a related note, how often would you say Linux systems have security-related patches released? Since the answer is probably "it depends on the distro" - how about popular ones like Red Hat... I know plenty of HPUX and Red Hat sysadmins who don't even check except for maybe once or twice per year...
Looking at several Centos boxes, it looks like the Linux kernel is getting kernel security patches about every two months. I think that BSD is on about the same schedule. I know that Sun releases security patches quarterly, and I cannot remember a recent quarter that did not include kernel patches. I am almost positive that HPUX also does quarterly patching. I seem to recall that AIX is patched less often. Jon - -- Jon R. Kibler Chief Technical Officer Advanced Systems Engineering Technology, Inc.
