If it's crucial, list it in inittab.

There are known security threats in 2.2.x which have been fixed in
2.2.16, and there have been VM fixes in a later version, and further
minor but numerable security fixes in 2.2.19.
Update to 2.2.19. Don't bother analyzing 2.2.13, no-one fixes that
nowadays unless the problem persists in 2.2.19.
