Reminds me of the time my box was rooted. Must have been 1997 or thereabouts, and I was constantly keeping my box uptodate with the latest unstable (testing didn't exist, nor did apt), but I (religiously) updated only the really free stuff -- I didn't want to pollute my system with anything else.
I forgot ofcource that I did once install a pop3 server from the uni of washington (that wasn't free back then, but I believe I couldn't find a free alternative). And that server had a bug in it, and it hadn't been updated for months.
Well, all that just to mention that only using the security updates from main may be dangerous, if you already have non-free packages installed.
Anyway http://www.debian.org/security advertises deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free so I suppose that should work too. (without the debian-security part) -- Groetjes, joostje
