Upgrading Kernel

[French, Alastair <nospam [at] racalinst.co.uk>]

I am currently running the stock distribution of SUSE 6.1 (kernel 2.2.7), I
have been told there is a security loophole in the IPchains / masquerading
modules. To this end I intend to upgrade the kernel but I have heard there
is a problem with pppd in later kernels (i.e. later than 2.2.10)

Are either of these problems true?

Which kernel do you recommend? (latest is 2.2.13 is it not?)

Do I need any library updates in order to patch the kernel?

Cheers

Alastair
