I'm curious as to why someone would object to seeing CERT advisories on this list. It is the expert list, after all, and what "expert" wouldn't want to be kept upto date on the latest security advisories. Someone mentioned that it'd be a good idea to make sure that the subject line contained the appropriate '[OT] CERT Advisory X' header. That's good advice. Anyone who wishes not to see it at that point can easily filter it out, and the rest of us (the majority of respondants) will continue to welcome them. Alan Robertson

Re: [expert] Opinion, please
Mandrake seems to have a large number of newbie users. I think some exposure to things like CERT would be a good thing. If your post has a subject along the lines of "[OT]CERT Alert " I can't see what the trouble would be. Security should be of concern to all of us.

Re: [expert] Opinion, please
Heck I didn't mind. You contribute frequently to the List both with questions and suggestions. An off-topic item now and then is no biggie as far as I'm concerned. These kind of discussions can go wild on some lists so I hope this will NOT be the case, but felt like responding both publically and privately as we need to stay away from "orthodoxy" to a certain extent. For example I have found the Red-Hat-List to be very helpful even if I admit I am using Linux-Mandrake. I hope this list would reciprocate in kind to reasonable questions from RH users. The extreme examples are what things like "chicken soup for the soul" have done to my wife's email account. Glad we dont pay for "per" item ! :o) William Bouterse Juneau Alaska

For those who are _already_ registered to appropriate mailing-lists, you are simply _multiplying_ needlessly the volume of mail they have to scan (and often to _pay for_). Also, do you expect the _newbie_ to fully understand the implications on a CERT-alert message ??? Just my 2 cents... -- Jean-Louis Debert[EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan
