Now, I've harrassed this forum with my obsessive-compulsive rants before, so I can guarantee you you're going to get nothing. OpenBSD actually does not owe you anything. If you really want to stay ontop of OpenBSD going-ons, I suggest you subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public things hit that first. Yes, it does seem a bit silly that security-announce@ is a bit flakey sometimes and this has been ranted about before. Nothing has changed it's usage. But this problem showed up on errata.html, misc@, undeadly.org, osnews.com, some other blogs, news sites, and finally slashdot. You're bound to read one of those (however I wouldn't count on slashdot since it's just inflamatory bullshit read by a bunch of microsofters who wish they could even install linucks; whether this is due to their stupidity or the poor quality of linux is anyone's guess). I digress. If you _really_ want to stay ontop of things, you have to take action yourself beyond the cron job that gets your mail. Sorry, that's just the way it is, so I suggest you adapt to it. -- Travers Buda
