We did yesterday on one of our Raq4's to see if it would shrivel up. So far
so good. We gave the evil eye and it seems to have worked.

We run a pretty stock Raq except for some pkgmaster stuff

PHP, SSH, Webmail, Steve Bassi Virus program, and we also have a Mailman
list on that particular box.

Same here. We are seeing no ill effects. We do have Gerald's security
packages on the box, so Sun's SHP was a waste anyway.

If I am not mistaken, the dev-security-users lists are only here to keep US
happy, not a Sun outlet anymore. I could be wrong.

Added the last 2 updates from Sun at the same time and the box seems to be
humming fine. Hear it?? I think that's an Elvis tune (Ain't Nothing But a
Hound Dog)
