Hello,
I have a small problem which has grown (and continues to grow) over the
years. I have upgraded my linux system so many times, I''m worried that
I
have old, insecure libs and executables somewhere on my system which may
or may not be used to gain access to my system.
How do I determine which libs I should have where, and which libs are
safe to delete? There are some programs (netscape...) which I understand
need specific libs, but which ones? How do I determine an executable nees
a specific lib to run? How do I fence off the old, but needed libs to
only be used by these old programs which I can not recompile?
I realize one answer is to go with a fresh install of some new
distribution, but that''s really not an answer cause it would take weeks
to
recreate all the site specific things I have created over the years.
if this is not the place to ask this question, please delete this message.
Thanks
-Darren Crane
