Are you running a stock kernel, on unstable? You should probably upgrade to the appropriate 2.4.20-3 kernel image and rebuild your modules against its header package, then; IIRC, it fixes a couple of local root exploits but breaks binary compatibility with extant modules. > How do I compile new modules, now that the kernel-headers-2.4.20 > package has vanished (and been replaced by -1 and -3)? Alternatively, you likely still have the old kernel-headers-2.4.20 package around; just use that. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
