Jeff:

Maybe you can tell me which of the updates posted to
ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq2/eng/ I should install on my RAQ2 and
in what order. What are the reported problems with any of the patches? I
don't want to install a patch and then have my server crash or have mail or
some other service stop. I'd rather keep running it as it is instead of
risking all the data on the server. As with many Cobalt customers, I do not
claim knowledge of Unix and Telnet to go in a fix problems, except via the
way the appliance was intended to be run, via the UI.

Currently, my server as set up by Interliant shows only:

Cobalt OS Release 4.0
POP-Authenticated SMTP Relaying Release 1.0
RaQ2-Security Release 1.0
RaQ2-Security Release 2.0
RaQ2-Security Release 2.2

Thanks
