Not wishing to be too ungrateful to Santa but - The broken AX.25 patches are not reverted so that doesn't work on some networks - It seems the security hole inducing exec_id change was not reverted and I've not yet found any other changes that fix the same problem (setuid_app >/proc/self/mem) in 2.6.10. It was actually quite nasty as a hole because you can seek the fd to the right target address before execing. With the other /proc changes did I miss something on this one I'll check it all over in more detail when I generate 2.6.10-ac (probably tomorrow), which will be nice as the patch will be a _lot_ shorter and USB storage a lot happier than 2.6.9 based systems.
