When they see one with "FreeBSD" in it, some of them call in a panic. They often don't read the message because they believe that they won't understand it. Yes, I know, it'd be nice if they weren't so clueless about computer security and FreeBSD, but then, they're experts in their own fields, which WE don't know much about. Instead of writing them off, why not make the subject lines clearer? --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
