I am willing to host the security mailing list.  I sent mail to Andrew Burt
at isis a little while back, but it must have been swallowed somewhere
along the way.  I am sending another message to "postmaster" at isis
to duplicate this posted article.  zardoz is fairly well connected (1 hop
from uunet), and I believe that it has the capacity to handle many mail
messages.  Assuming that Andrew Burt answers this article or the e-mail
I'm sending to isis's postmaster,  the mail list will be set up as follows:

1.  For now, it will be a mail reflector, to a list maintained by me 
    consisting of root accounts on any machine of reasonable size.
2.  Non-root accounts will be added to the list when requested by a root
    account on the same machine that is already in the list.
3.  I will later set up a simple program that only allows accounts listed
    in the list to post TO the list.  I assume that this kind of thing has
    been done before, so feel free to send me this software, if you have it.
4.  The received submissions will not be edited, controlled, refused, or
    altered in any way, except for provision 3 above.
5.  Custom Product Design Inc. assumes no liabalilty for any information
    posted through the list, or for any subsequent damages caused by
    any posting on the list.
6.  Accounts will be removed from the list at my discretion when I feel that
    any poster is consistantly posting non-security related information or
    is using this list for personal attacks or "flames".
7.  Requests to be added to the list should be mailed to sec-request@cpd.com
8.  Postings to the list should be mailed to security@cpd.com
9.  cpd.com is zardoz.UUCP, reached by the path ...!uunet!ccicpg!zardoz

If the volume of mail becomes too large, I will continue to run the list
under the following additional conditions:

10. No new accounts will be added to the list unless there is a regional
    re-distribution site reasonably close to that site that is willing
    to accept another more accounts on their regional distribution list.
11. Re-distribution sites will be accepted in any area, as long as they
    only accept postings that go through this site (because of provision
    3 above).
