- From my own experience BugTraq, and ALL the SF lists have gone to running almost a day behind - give or take. For comparison, the ICSA lists by TruSecure are running 4-6 hours latency. I suppose that is an acceptable lag for a high-traffic, moderated group. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/cfTmJi2cv3XsiSARAiPJAKDRVyS+6Iq6kckLdaVC4Y6BlpzK4QCgp1Sm NxCd89V9KFwmbx4iiZQ2+3A= =u7qM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
