Obviously, part of the hacking is to cover trails; it'd be a pretty poor job if they reported different values. The mm stuff from your other message is, I think, an indication that you might be being hit by a memory management bug that was corrected in 2.2.19pre2. It is my sincere belief that you will need to upgrade your kernel, but you are in no serious danger. If it's a firewall box, you should be running tripwire or some free variation, to help eliminate the possibility that cracking would go undetected. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
