Sorry. I think I was coming off as too abrassive. That's actually a very
good point.

I don't mean to be abrasive or anything, but isn't that what the community
is for? We all work together and as one discovers a security threat they
(as you have done) post it to the list (whether they found it on slashdot,
google, securityfocus, etc), and there it is.
There is the aforementioned bugs watch list, but I don't know how to
enable that (have logged in, but don't see a watch feature), although I
haven't looked more than a couple minutes into it.
Just my 2 cents, am I off base here?
Good point, but I'd have to say that it defeats the purpose of having this
list. This exploit was particularily dangerous, especially for people who
use linux (gentoo and other distros) as a platform to provide webhosting
and shell accounts.
I think this sort of *emergency* security notification should go out on
the list ASAP.

So, in order to be informed about security issues as they pertain to
Gentoo, it's not enough to monitor the Gentoo Security list?
sign up for a bugzilla account and add '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to your
watch

a ton of other people already do
