Thanks to all of you who responded to my request for input on whether or not to distribute the VIRUS-L indices periodically! The overwhelming (i.e., unanimous) result is that we should do it. There were also a couple of good suggestions. Depending on file size, etc., I currently plan to distribute the indices every 100 digests, in a separate digest(s) - on a trial basis. If, after sending them out, it is decided that this is too much bandwidth (or some such), then I'll not send more out. Also, sorry for the delay in some of the messages in today's digest. I was out of town all of last week, and terminal access was at a premium. We did have one message sent in to VALERT-L during that time, and it went out asap. A reminder to anyone sending to VALERT-L - if you want your message to go out as quickly as possible, phone the CERT hotline (412-268-6935) and instruct whoever answers the phone to contact me. Thanks, Ken
