The list is about 'network operations' which in a narrow view can just mean 'routing and bgp' or 'routers and bgp', sure. It could also mean things like: "What is, and how does one do, peering at Internet scale?". It could also mean: "Security of things on my portion of the Internet, how do I do that 'better' or 'properly'?" Looking at content at meetings there's a hefty helping of 'security' and 'peering' as well as all manner of 'routing' topics... One might think then that 'security' (even web-server security) falls into the realm of 'on topci' a little bit. I don't want to see a tutorial of 'php best security practices' here, but if someone's out of their depth and stuck dealing with some operational issues related to that sort of problem a quick conversation and referrals to the right references (and or off-list help) seems reaosnable. Again, I didn't read probably 80% of the 'my webserver was hacked' thread, but... > But other people on the MLC might have differing opinion about exactly > what they didn't like about the threads. so long as it's a consensus and the consensus is even keeled I don't mind. I think the 'arbitrary process' is what got is an 'mlc' in the first place though so I don't want to see us repeat mistakes. :) also, what is this wierd footer?? <div><br></div> -Chris _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
