In late August, Peter G. Neumann of SRI set up a mailing list to discuss risks to the public in computer systems. That list is fed into USENET as fa.risks, and has been distributed to those news customers who take their fa feeds via Stanford. I have been waiting for the "official" fa feeds at Berkeley to pick it up, but they haven't. This newsgroup has a lot of worthwhile and timely material in it. We still have Volume 1 Number 1 online at Glacier. I decided that the right thing to do would be to start feeding the group net-wide, even though I don't have "official" permission, in order that USENET readers can get in at the beginning for a change. Usually the ARPANET lists are not fed to USENET until they are several months old. (My apologies to those sites who have been getting fa.risks all along; there is no simple way for me to restrict the distribution of this message to the sites that have not been receiving it). 14 messages are accumulated in fa.risks, representing 6 weeks of ARPA traffic. -- Brian Reid decwrl!glacier!reid Stanford reid@SU-Glacier.ARPA
