Actually machines that patch themselves are a potential security nightmare
from the standpoint of a man-in-the-middle attack, are these things Kerb'd?
I can think of all kinds of "Patched Binaries" which could end up in /usr
and /bin...
Not to mention that not all patches are a good thing, SP6 anyone?
