Hi Everyone, One of our mail admins made a big mistake today and we lost all the mail on one of the outgoing SecurityFocus mail servers... all of our 31 mailing lists were affected including this one. Since I moderated everything in the queue (about 25 messages) this morning, it's impossible to know if all the approved mail made it out or not. We have multiple outgoing mail servers, so some messages sent to this list made it out, while others did not. If you sent a message to security-basics yesterday or today, perhaps in response to an ongoing thread, could you please check our web archive (http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/105) to see if your message made it, and if not please resend. Sincere apologies, but these things happen. And to Unix administrators everywhere, please remember that 'sudo' is your friend, education is key, and that playing around with production machines as 'root' is a very bad way to learn from your mistakes.
