It would seem to me that there should be an OT list, and all and any OT traffic gets diverted there. A summary of the diversions could be posted once a week on the host list (suse-security in this case); that way, people could keep track of whats going on, and the OT list could breed its own lists. - Roger - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Buchmann" <jeremy@wellsgaming.com> To: <suse-security@suse.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [suse-security] OT Postings

Not just your impression.
I really don't know what to do about it. The obvious solution of making the list moderated seems difficult because of the time demands (we'd need at least one moderator in North America and Europe).
I've noticed that most of the OT traffic has to do with admin-type problems like setting up mail, using the Suse admin tools, etc. Would it be possible for Suse to setup a new list like "suse-admin" that would be a resource for non-security administrative questions? suse-linux-e is just to busy and full of "desktop-related" chit-chat, and the rest of the lists don't seem to apply. That way, when someone is OT, we can just say "Please post to suse-admin" instead of "This list is for security, bug off."
