Hello, Also, it is not very clear why there are two places to look for updates. It is very confusing. Can someone from the (excellent!:)) SuSE security people clarify this? If one would like to keep the SuSE Linux systems up to date, is it required to look in both places or the suse-security-announce should be enough? Because if it's not, then what is the purpose of suse-security-announce, anyway? Thank you! Dragos Jula

Hello,
Is there something wrong with the security announcement system? If you look on the SuSE web site http://www.suse.de/en/support/security/index.html there have been no alerts since 3rd June, and I don't recall any e-mail alerts either. But if you look at the update area http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/71_i386.html there have been 6 security updates in this period. At least one of these (samba) is a major hole.
People should not be expected to subscribe to high-volume technical mailing lists to know about security updates, the security announcement list should be sufficient.
