Upgrade Issues, Please Read

**sNyx** · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 31, 01

Okay, after finding there was a minor security hole in vB 2.0.1 (the forums we are running) I upgraded to the newest version, with the minor fixes, vB 2.0.3. Not realizing overwriting most of the stuff I added. (ie. stars, and a few others) So for the next few days please survive without stars, plus I had to lock up the user profile stuff for now, so you cant change your location/sex/job/picture for a few days also. Sorry and I hope everyone understands.

you should really upgrade the kernel you are running, as well as close off some open ports, and lock down your mySQL database.

because if you're worried about security this box is a skriptkiddies dream.

and three quarters of those are already rooted.

and i would guess that f+k would be rooted by now, or it's on its way.

just trying to be helpful.
