Good day, all, I have a compiled 2.6.3-rc2-uml1 kernel available at http://www.stearns.org/uml/ . It has some of the netfilter patch-o-matic modules available (see the associated config to see which ones). At the moment, it suffers from "sleeping process NNNNN got unexpected signal : 11" from time to time; I've seen it on startup just as the gettys get going, and at shutdown after "System halted", both on the stock rh-7.3 filesystem. Other than that, it seems to run reasonably well. I'd suggest against trusting production systems to it at the moment.

Although these Web servers have required some security patches, they have much better security records than IIS and are not under active attack by the vast number of virus and worm writers. Gartner remains concerned that viruses and worms will continue to attack IIS until Microsoft has released a completely rewritten, thoroughly and publicly tested, new release of IIS." -- The Gartner Group http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=101034 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Stearns (wst...@po...).

Oops, forgot to mention: - The host on which this is running (2.6.3-rc1) has no skas patch, so these errors showed up in tt mode. On skas mode on a 2.4.23-rc3 host, the error has not shown up at all in 2 complete startup-to-shutdown cycles. In skas mode, this _appears at first glance_ to be reasonably stable. - After kill -HUP'ing the tt mode "linux" from the host to kill it off, the only uml process left was "linux [/sbin/update]"; any chance that was the "sleeping process"?

And to further p*** o** the people who dislike it when others respond to their own posts... ;-) The kernel looks sufficiently stable in skas mode that I've moved some of the virtual machines on Zaphod over to it, with no problems so far to report. I can't say for sure that it's OK, but there's no evidence of problems so far in skas mode.
