Since a lot of sysadmin stuff is pretty vendor- and/or os-specific, it tends
to be found in comp.sys.whatever or comp.os.whatever.  If you run UNIX, you
might have a look at comp.unix.wizards.  There is also the security mailing
list, and I think I recall a general system administration mailing list.
