Guys and gals (yes there are female admins), Perhaps the best way to handle people that don't like the questions asked by newbies (and we were all newbies at one time) is to cancel the subscription of those who flame newbies. Sometimes the simple answer is not so simple to someone new to unix/linux and that person needs to be politely pointed into the right direction.

Guys,
this list is here for discussion, for asking questions and seeing the answers right away. It used to be a precious place for me to share thoughts and exchange new ideas (all of you have seen something you didn't know before you read it on this list) long before I came to SuSE.
It is vital for this list that questions can be asked. Of course, these questions should be related to security to comply with the purpose of this list. Desired language is English. If you are not willing to answer to one of the questions, and if you do not have anything else to say that contributes to the threads or the purpose of the list in general, then there is a good reason _NOT_ to post to the list. We haven't had any flamewars for ages - it looks like we didn't need them.
Your choice.
Thanks, Roman.
