Mailing list is flooded with questions about how to use ssh, how to log in, how to configure IPFW, etc. Problem is multiplied by three responses telling them they should have posted their question on freebsd-questions. >How-To-Repeat: Subscribe to freebsd-security mailing list and expect technical discussion of security issues. >Fix: On http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html change description of freebsd-security mailing list to read freebsd-security Security aspects of proposed changes to FreeBSD or freebsd-security Discussion of security aspects of proposed changes or similar wording. Similar change required for http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists I believe the proposed phrasing accurately summarizes the security list charter, which limits it to strictly technical discussion. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
