If anyone has a RH 4.0 system not running a custom built kernel, it's
possible they can secure the system by running
"rpm -U /mit/linux/teardrop/kernel-2.0.18-6.i386.rpm". Or, that might
fail because rpm says they already have revision 6. (I'll fix that
tomorrow.) Or maybe I screwed up and installing that rpm will totally
ruin the system. I'll send linux-announce email after I've done some
testing.
Also, if you care, here's how I built this:
1. ftp'd the SRPM from an old 4.0 archive.
2. Installed it into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES with "rpm -i".
3. Added the file "teardrop.patch" to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
4. Added the lines "Patch4: teardrop.patch" and "%patch4 -p1" to
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.0.18.spec.
5. Ran rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.0.18.spec.
Good night,
Sal.
