That's into the range that makes me nervous - enough MS patches need reboots nowadays that anything over 4-6 weeks is probably out-of-date on patches, and susceptible to some nasty coming along. My current employer got caught by that BIG time by ... Sasser, I think it was? One of the big worms at about that time. The patch from MS had been available for 'a long time' - but our Exchange servers had uptimes of over a year, and our IT Director was very proud of that fact (and he really should have known better). They have since scheduled a monthly reboot to make certain the patches are at least moderately current. -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
