 Wasn't there some rule that commercial mails posted to this list are
 charged for a couple of thousends $$? Most spam is a commercial ad, so
 there must be a lot of money going to the Debian project ;-).

So who's handling collections?

I have always thought so, but whenever that suggestion comes up on any of

Martin, you may have set him off but I don't think you're responsible.  The 
guy is pretty obviously subscribed to this list.  I suppose it's possible 
that someone else subscribed him without his knowledge or consent, but I 
doubt it.  I think he got himself on the list, for whatever reason, and now 
he's too stupid to get himself off.

I don't think you can do that with stock syslogd.  Based on a quick tour of 
the homepage, it looks like syslog-ng might do what you want.  I haven't 
tried it, mind you, but the comments on freshmeat seem pretty favorable.

Is Open Source software really more secure?

2000-10-08 Thread Bud Rogers
I've always taken for granted the idea that open source was inherently more 
secure because it's open to peer review.  Linus said Given enough eyes, all 
bugs are shallow.  But has anyone ever done a serious study on the subject?  
 I've seen plenty of emotional arguments and anecdotal evidence, but nothing 
that I would consider hard evidence.  

I'm doing a paper on this topic for a graduate level class in Information 
Assurance Management.  I'm looking for background material for my paper.  I 
would appreciate any pointers, urls, etc.
