I own several computer-security related e-mail lists at my NASA site, intended to get system administrators the information they need to stay a half-step ahead of the barbarians. I've been trying to set one up specifically for administrators of FreeBSD systems. There is no joy. I consulted the advice on the FreeBSD web site and in the Handbook, and concluded that all I had to do was give the list's address on the subscribe command. I did that, and followed the sequence through to the point, on May 31, where Majordomo told me "Your request to Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG: ... has been forwarded to the owner of the "freebsd-security-notifications" list for approval." Then I waited. No response. No notifications. On June 8, I followed Majordomo's advice: "If you have any questions about the policy of the list owner, please contact 'freebsd-security-notifications-approv al@FreeBSD.ORG'." I sent e-mail and got no response. I've since tried the whole process two more times, on June 21, and just today. Today, I also subscribed myself -- which avoids the approval part, and I have set my e-mail filter to forward to my list any messages I receive from security-notifications. This will work, but it's inefficient. Both the web and the Handbook say that subscribing a list to a FreeBSD list is a welcome activity. I don't want to be a pain, but I haven't been able to find what I should do next, or whether I should have done something completely different in the first place. What's the right way to do this? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
