Default Server reboot

This website and server will be offline at midnight for approx 5 minutes for reboot to complete installation of an urgent security update and new kernel.

Default Re: Server reboot

Now back.

Sorry for the short notice, however I did not want to draw attention to the server being potentially vulnerable.

The update was for this critical security issue http://www.zdnet.com/article/critica...ty-hole-found/ and a reboot was required to ensure all services using the affected library were restarted. I also took the opportunity to update the kernel.
