My argument isn't against that. My point is that yes the information is out there. But by reporting it here you are introducing it to a potential new audience and not only that since the email list is also published on a web page also indexed the exploit's instructions on umpteen web indexes for anyone to search hence making yet another source for the information. In this case I doubt it matters.. But ideally the email should be sent direct to valve employees to be honest because. A summary of the problem and protection instructions *IF* an exploit effects normal server operators should of course be posted to the list. I just disagree with posting instructions on the exploit itself. Especially as in this case it does not really concern server operators as such. It all goes back to the good old saying. With Knowledge comes responsibility. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
