Hi all,

Does anyone know the status of the sparc kernels in woody with respect to 
all the recent kernel security fixes?  Looking through the list of 
advisories at http://www.debian.org/security/ I don't see any mention of 
sparc architecture.  (I have an UltraSparc IIi, which is a firewall so I'd 
just as soon not put a compiler on it to build a new kernel myself...)

I'm currently running "kernel-image-2.4.20-sun4u" version 26.potato.1,
last updated 20 March 2003 (according to the package changelog), which
IIRC I got from woody-proposed-updates.  Any woody-compatible upgrade
suggestions?

Finally, the only account I have on the firewall is root; since all the 
latest problems seem to be local root exploits, do I need to worry at all?

thanks,
