Well, in this case it is not some serious server, just for fun&play. And sometimes I really do not have time to take care of it for a couple of days, week or two. I have a different job... > What difference does it make if there's a security hole if the server > itself doesn't work? Let us say, if server is down, it can not be misused for further attacks, spam-sending, ddos, etc. That could easily happen, if someone gained root-access (I think)... > So you have time to fix the errors, but not time to prevent them before > they occur? As I said previously: fixing errors later is my problem. But if I do not close some security leak, it would be then problem for me and maybe someone else too. There are too many unpatched and vulnerable computers on the net, I did not want to cotribute to it... But there is definitely something in what you are saying. Maybe I will think over it again...
