Sorry, but I must disagree. One expects to be the first notified
of Mandrake security issues when one is subscribed to
Mandrake's security-announce. There's an implied if not explicit
expectancy that the list should be sufficient for being alerted to
Mandrake security issues. I'm not saying the list has always been
useless and dangerous, and I'm not saying the list will always be
such. But the list has been down for just about a month, and as far as I
can tell, is still down. So at present, assuming the list is still
down, it is indeed useless and dangerous simply because people expect
it to be both functional and current. It is analogous to some virus or
trojan disabling my system's local security warnings.
peace,
dave.
