I am preparing the way for the security issues mailing list. At this point a number of the people on the list feel that 1) attempting to secure the list (encrypting it?) will not work, for various reasons, or 2) that it is beneficial to leak security problems in order to alarm some sa's into fixing same. I want the opinion of the sa's who will be affected. So far the mailing list numbers 65 people. (The list has not yet been validated; another whole problem altogether, subject of another article.) Below is a list of all the sites through which the mailing list (in its current form) would pass. If your system is on the list, and uucp is not secure on your system, then there is the possibility that the contents of the list will be accessable to your users. Speak now, or forever hold your peace. abnjh cornell hao mogwai siemens acf4 cp1 harvard nbires stcvax adrvax csu-cs hp-lsd noao sun alice cybvax0 hp-pcd nsc sunpeaks allegra dalcs hpcvlo philabs tardis amd decvax hpda prcrs terak ames drutx hpdsa princeton ucadmus astrovax dual hpfcla redwood ucbvax brl-bmd enea hplabs research udenva brl-vgr entropy hpscda riacs umcp-cs bunker erix hpscdz ritcv unm-la cadmus felix ihnet rlgvax unmvax cadre fisher ihnp4 rochester utcsrgv cadtroy fortune isucs1 sbcs uw-beaver calmasd fritz masscomp sdcc6 wateng ccice5 garfield mcvax sdchema watmath cfa gatech mhuxi sdcsvax wivax cisden grendel mit-eddie seismo wjh12 cmcl2 Arguments will be considered on the basis of logical weight after burning.
