[cobalt-users] Qube3-All-Security-4.0.1-15977, update or not?



I am posting this again because nobody replied to it and I really would like
to have an answer:

This morning I received an e-mail from the server appliance telling me about
updating the server with Qube3-All-Security-4.0.1-15977.  I was going to
install it but the details for the update are the following:

This security bundle addresses multiple security issues: correcting insecure
file permissions; fixing symlinks; improving the security of FTP and DNS;
putting the auth service under TCP wrappers.

I noticed that it patches DNS but I manually updated DNS already to the
latest version of BIND 8 (8.3.4).  I also created the DNS zone file manually
and not using the gui.  I am afraid that if I apply this patch it will break
the DNS service.

Should I apply this patch?  Some advice would be appreciated.

Santiago.
