Can I do this without installing source and rebuilding the affected pieces or is that my only choice? The reason is that I'm just looking for a secure, reliable production system, not a part-time development job. In the past I've downloaded and built my own copies of the more vulnerable pieces and I don't have time for that any longer. --------------------------------- Mike Jordan mike@mike-jordan.org
