Hi Group, First I want to take a second and thank many of you guys for your fine help and assistance during these crunch times when vulnerabilities and exploits go loop-y in the wild. Michael, Steve, Tom, Chris, and Taco (and others) have been my saving grace more than once with your contributions to us RaQ owners. When the vendor is somewhat slow to the mark, you guys have stepped in to save the day on more than one occasion... and for that I sincerely thank you all.. :-)
I have a question and was wondering what everyone's input would be regarding the glibc update 4.0.1 file available from Cobalt. I've patched my RaQ3 with all the available updates/patches to that point of glibc (actually I skipped the DNS Update 4.0.1 as well because I'm using the secure BIND from UK2). But I've held off on installing the glibc pkg because I know it's caused some users problems with memory issues. I'm not running mySQL or PHP on my systems, just a plain old RaQ3, but I'm growing concerned over how to proceed regarding the patches that have followed glibc. Particalrly, if by skipping the glibc patch, will the other patches/updates encounter problems. I know Cobalt is planing on releasing new Apache updates on Friday, and I figured I'd put my nose to the grind stone and install the previous updates on Friday; Duplicate Email Alias 4.0.1 Update: Security Bundle 4.0.1 Then on Sat (if no problems creep in), I was going to go for the Apache update. But I'm a little worried about possible problems with any of these updates if I skip the glibc pkg and/or other issues that I might encounter by not including that one. I'm just not real excited about some of the things I heard about issues surrounding that patch (systems needing rebooted every xx hours and such), so I figured I'd skip it.. Does anyone see any potential problems with my proposed upgrade path by leaving out the glibc pkg. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated..
