Thanks Andy. Good point From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andy Sayler Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 6:19 PM To: User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System Subject: Re: [RDD] exporting and sample rate conversion
Craig, As Fred implies, you generally want to also enable automatic security updates. Unless you monitor the security side of Linux and Linux applications closely, its easy to miss a security update that makes your server especially vulnerable if it's released but you don't apply it. This is a far larger issue if your machine is exposed directly to the Internet, but should probably be considered even if it isn't unless you are really confident in your firewall and staff. Generally these updates don't change interfaces or dependencies, so are safer to have run automatically than other program updates. Even in the very rare case where they break something on your machine, there is an argument that says it's better to be secure but broken then working but vulnerable to attack. If you have an IT department who can monitor all the security patches and selectively apply the necessary ones as soon as they are released, great. But if not, I'd make sure your Linux machines apply upstream distribution security updates automatically. -Andy Sayler On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 14:06, Craig Albrecht <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Makes good sense.

Unless the system is facing the public Internet, I generally disable all of the repositories except 'Paravel-Broadcast' once the system is put into production. That way, you won't be getting nagged to install updates every other day, while still getting notifications of Rivendell updates. > Looks like sample rate conversion is not working on the rdcatch uploads in > the appliance version.
