Uptime is nice, but I hate to see uptime over 150 days - it shows that
the kernel has not been updated against various exploits.  The 2.0.35
kernel is about three years old, and I'm pretty sure there are some remote
compromises up to the 2.2.13 kernel.  Maybe the sparc kernel is different?

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
