    Hello all,

    Can someone explain how to apply security patches on the system without
    rebooting the machine?

    I guess that I cant patch the kernel without compiling and rebooting the
    machine, so the only way is with iptables and keeping the daemons "fresh"?

    Regards,

    Carlos Silva,
