[news.sysadmin] security mailing list musings

schwartz@shire.cs.psu.edu (Scott Schwartz) (11/10/88)

What is the exact status of the two (more?) security mailing lists
that have been discussed on the net lately?  I understand that the
Isis list is in the process of restarting.  What of the other?

A number of people have commented on the number of vendor distributed
BSD based systems that have made essentially no improvements
(bugfix-wize, anyway) over pure BSD.  Is it wishful thinking to hope
that influential people at Sun, AT&T, DEC, etc., will receive the
security mailing lists and take measures?

The security mailing list on cpd.com (zardoz.uucp) has been operating
for about two weeks now.  There currently 140+ alias or account
destinations, with 50+ new membership requests waiting to be processed
in my email mailbox.  To join, send mail from root or one of the email
contacts in your uucp maps listing.  Home computers, destinations in
one of the .edu domains that is not a listed email contact, and internet
destinations require a little extra processing, contact me for details.
