Hi list, I am administering ~25 machines running SuSE and most of them are connected to the internet in one way or the other. Peter's suggestions makes alot of sense to me - wading through several security mailinglists every morning slowly becomes a full time job (and I can't spend that much time just on security issues). Anyway, I like the idea of a suse-security-announce-pending mailinglist. I am aware of the fact that this means extra work to someone at SuSE but at least you guys have a bigger team than me ;-) I am convinced that such a list will make life for many customers easier.

Hi Guys.
I would like to bounce an idea off the list which I think would be of value. I propose that SuSE setup a suse-security-announce-pending mailing list where SuSE would officially notify of Pending problems in SuSE packages. Like most of you I recieve alot of email every day, (Bugtraq, CERT, SuSE-Security, SAGE-AU, SLUG, and a dozen other application specific mailing lists, plus of course my normal work and personal correspondence).

Any comments?
Yes, I like the idea and I hope others will comment on it too ;-) Erwin -- Erwin Zierler | web- / host- / postmaster - stubainet.at | erwin.zierler@stubainet.at / webmaster@stubainet.at | Tel.: 0 5225 - 64325 Fax 99 Mobil: 0664 - 130 67 91
