Great idea to cut down on the traffic around security discussions, but when an advisory comes out, time is of the essence. The creation of a digested security discussion list would seem to call for the creation of a security "advisory" list that only select people (security-officer, etc.) could post to. Using this method, one could read the general discussion surrounding security issues without compromising the speed with which they get important advisories. -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | Integrator, The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
