<quote who="O Plameras"> > He once said, if you have a point, Hammer on that point;
Oscar, you claimed that "building kernels is required for securing servers". You have not backed that up. You have not provided any substantial evidence to suggest - particularly to the disbelieving eyes of experienced admins on this list - that your claim has any basis in fact. I suggested a number of reasons why building kernels is *not* required for securing servers, and a number of reasons why building kernels may actually adversely affect your server's security. A belief in what you've claimed is not shared by experienced sysadmins here, and it flies in the face of security theory, let alone practice. I'd be interested to find out how you came to believe this - it's a dangerous idea that I hope is not widespread. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ http://www.illusionary.com/GNOMEvKDE.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
