I think this is one area where Debian differs from other distros - it doesn't put much in /etc/shorewall[6] and won't replace your shorewall.conf without asking. Upgrades are pretty safe. Of course this won't help if you just extract a tarball in situ. Your other protection is called a backup regime. http://netzreport.googlepages.com/all_those_backups_waste_of_pay.html I've always found that selling a backup system is hard work - until a customer has lost something valuable/critical. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
