Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2002-01-25 13:31:36 UTC 
It would be nice if the web page could display in the 'System Details' which
kernel (as in 'uname -r') was running at the last check-in.
Comment 1 Jay Turner 2002-01-25 16:47:05 UTC 
This is something which really scares me to think about.  I personally would
like to avoid storing information about the version of code which is running. 
To me there is a difference between reporting what code the RPM database says we
have installed and reporting the exact version of the kernel which happens to be
running.
Comment 2 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2002-01-28 15:20:33 UTC 
Hmm, you have a point, but IMHO knowing which kernel is currently running is
quite important, especially if there was a security errata to a kernel. I'd
rather look up 20 machines in RHN then ssh'ing to 20 machines to check if all
machines are running the kernel I expect.
Comment 3 Bret McMillan 2002-03-13 17:29:29 UTC 
Now showing this (and last boot) on system_details.pxt.
Comment 4 Jay Turner 2002-05-15 14:26:05 UTC
