[olug] Another round: Post your uptime!

[Dan Linder]

Hmmm...  Google "linux kernel exploit 2.6.5-7.111" produces:

* Linux kernel sock_sendpage() denial of service vulnerability
 http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/vulninfo/vuln.aspx?id=37696

<http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/vulninfo/vuln.aspx?id=37696>*  Linux
kernel IP packet denial of service
    http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/17800

Having a great up-time is a double-edged sword, but if it's not running
sendmail and it is well firewalled then it is probably not a major concern.
 Truly, anything with a connection to the outside world has
the possibility of being DOS'd or Root'ed.  But then that negates a
networked servers functionality.

Congrats on the uptime none the less!
