: I suggest we should make freebsd-security a moderated mailing list. So the
: moderator can filter the information before it was sent out.

I *STRONGLY* disagree.  People have shown good judgement here on the
whole and one minor borderline case shouldn't force this change.  True
it was Friday night in Au and NZ, but it was the middle of the day
here and it got a lot of people motivated to quickly "fix" the problem
with the chmod, myself included.

Until such time as this list regularlly discloses information about
problems in an irresponsible matter, the status quo is good enough.

BTW, I would highly recommend people subscribe to BOS.  It has lots of
even more explicit and dangerous goodies that get posted from time to
time.
