I downloaded and installed a fix that protects against the Ramen worm that hit our server yesterday. It exploits security holes in default installs of Redhat Linux 6.2 and 7 (we’re running 7). But it’s fixed now and I’m going to add securityfocus to my list of daily reading. They had the best info on this thing and links to the fixes.
I’m trying to see if our QPS Que! USB cdrom burner will work with our linux server. If it will, it will make daily backups very easy. But if it won’t. I’ll figure something else out. We have a tape drive on the server, but I hate it with a pasion. CDs are cheap enough that I can burn dailies or weeklies to them and have a nice, permenant, and easily accesible backup.
