Plus subscribe to security lists for the software you use (it looks like you already did so for your distro) and maybe some general lists like Bugtraq.
I did so a while ago. Funny is, that the mailserver, from which the bugtraq-list is distributed, has an entry in the ORBS-database. So my mailserver, which is configured to _not allow_ mails from hosts being in this database, denied these mails. I wrote several times to bugtraq to check their system and to be taken out of this database, but never got any reply besides the standard answer (we received your mail, bla bla bla...) So, how serious should I take a security-mailinglist which uses unsecure mailservers ? f.ex. Would you hire a network-administrator whose own network is down and which he can't get to work ? Me not ! I know this has not much to do with suse-security, but I think this is something that should be known... yours Stephan.
