We had this discussion a while ago. There is no mailing list that provides qualified answers to security-related questions. You are fighting windmills. These questions will come to this mailing list, as long as there is no freebsd-security-questions. Sorry, I have no idea what needs to be done to start such a mailing list. Can people more versed in the FreeBSD mailing list procedures please explain how such a mailing list can be started? > Also, please do not reply to offtopic questions.

So that people who search the mailing list archives first be unable to find the answer and send their question to the list anyway? Lupe Christoph PS: I have to admit that I'm always confused by the difference in policies between debian-security and freebsd-security. The Debian crowd welcomes all questions related to security while the freebsd crowd seems to be obsessed with policies. -- | lupe@lupe-christoph.de | http://www.lupe-christoph.de/ | | Big Misunderstandings #6398: The Titanic was not supposed to be | | unsinkable.
