The four Linux Security Mailing Lists:
linux-alert
linux-security
linux-alert-digest
linux-security-digest
have been moved to a mailing list server at Red Hat Software. (Many
thanks go out to Marc Ewing at Red Hat for offering his site as a host
for these mailing lists, as well as for aiding in the transition.)
The reason for the move is that I am shifting jobs here within NRAO: I'm
switching over from doing full-time system and network administration
into a position that primarily involves coding astronomical
data-reduction software. I won't be able justify the amount of time
that I have been spending on security-related issues once I have moved
into this new job position, so I'm hanging up my hat after roughly 1 1/2
years as the security lists' administrator. (I will also be hanging up
my hat as Rogier's co-moderator in the very near future.) I'll still
continue to keep close tabs on Linux (and other UNIX) security
issues--but I'll be doing so from a much less time-consuming vantage
point.
The submission addresses for the mailing lists are now:
linux-alert@redhat.com
linux-security@redhat.com
linux-alert-digest@redhat.com
linux-security-digest@redhat.com
Aliases will remain on linux.nrao.edu (a.k.a. tarsier.cv.nrao.edu) for
an indefinite period that will forward all posts to the old list
submission addresses on to their respective new addresses at Red Hat.
Since Red Hat is not running a Majordomo mailing list server, a slightly
different mechanism is now in place for subscribing and unsubscribing
to/from the security lists. Rather than sending all subscription
activity requests to a "majordomo@" address with the commands in the
message body, the new mechanism is to send the requests to
"[list-name]-request@redhat.com" with the keyword "subscribe" or
"unsubscribe" in the "Subject:" header.
This means that the administrative addresses are now:
linux-alert-request@redhat.com
linux-security-request@redhat.com
linux-alert-digest-request@redhat.com
linux-security-digest-request@redhat.com
(Forwarding aliases from "[list-name]-request@linux.nrao.edu" to the
respective new addresses at Red Hat will also remain on the old server
for an indefinite period.)
Information regarding the mailing list archives and their availability
will be posted once the new archives at Red Hat are fully on-line and
consolidated with the old archives at NRAO.
- --Up.
P.S. I realize that some new subscribers may have received a "Welcome to
the blinux-list!" when their subscription request was processed. This
is of course an error, and is being fixed; the subscriptions went to the
right lists, but it appears that the wrong list-information file was
sent back out. There will undoubtedly be some other small kinks as we
finish the lists' transition....
