Hi
I have upgraded the list charter to specifically mention the fact
that licensing issue "debates" are off topic. Likewise for responses
to off-topic posts.
The updated charter is included here for your information.
M
FREEBSD-SECURITY Security issues
This is a technical discussion list covering FreeBSD security issues.
The intention is for the list to contain a high-signal, low-noise
discussion of issues affecting the security of FreeBSD.
Welcome topics include Cryptography (as it relates to FreeBSD), OS bugs
that affect security, and security design issues. Denial-of-service
(DoS) issues are less important than problems that allow an attacker to
achieve elevated privelige, but are still on-topic.
General system administrator questions of an FAQ nature are off-topic
for this list, but the creation and maintenance of a FAQ is on-topic.
Thus, the submission of questions (with answers) for inclusion into
the FAQ is welcome. Such question/answer sets should be clearly
marked as (at least "FAQ submission") such in the subject.
The FAQ will be posted to the list regularly (There is not one at
the moment - this will be rectified).
Flamewars, personal attacks, low-signal postings (such as gratuitous
"Me Too!" messages) and other off-topic subissions are unwelcome.
Heated discussions and discussions of questionable relevance are
invited to be conducted off-line until an on-topic conclusion is
reached.
Very specifically, licensing issues are off-topic.
Equally specifically, replying to off-topic posts is also off-topic.
Responding to trolls, taunts, jibes, spam etc is FORBIDDEN. If you
must respond, do so in private mail.
This is a members-only list, so only list members may post (using
the address they subscribed under).
