i forgot to mention that 'uname -r' won't actually tell you whether you
are running the most up-to-date debian kernel.  to do that, look at the
output of 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image-$(uname -r)'.  you should have
2.6.30-8 or higher for sid and 2.6.26-19 or higher for lenny (not sure
where your 2.6.22 version came from, but i would recommend installing
an official kernel package instead of that one; otherwise you have no
security support at all).
