SECURITY Listserv Instructions and Participation Guidelines

[Rodney Petersen <rpetersen () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Security Discussion Group Members,

Since most of you were recently subscribed to the SECURITY Discussion
Group based upon a transfer of your SYSSEC subscription, I am forwarding
the instructions below that pertain to the use of the new SECURITY
list.  Further details, including leader contact information, archives,
and subscription/mail management information, are also available at
http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/security.html  Participation
Guidelines for the SECURITY discussion group are also linked from this
web site or available at
http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/part600.html  A description of the
EDUCAUSE Constituent and Discussion Group Program is available at
http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/cgstructure599.html

Please let me know if you have any questions or experience any
difficulties during the transition.

Sincerely,

Rodney Petersen
Security Task Force Coordinator


-------- Original Message --------

Subject: You are now subscribed to the SECURITY list

Your subscription to the SECURITY list (The EDUCAUSE Security Discussion
Group Listserv) has been accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference. If you ever need to
leave
the list,  you will find  the necessary instructions below.  Perhaps
more
importantly, saving a  copy of this message (and  of subscription
notices
from other mailing lists) in a  special mail folder will give you
instant
access to the list of mailing lists  that you are subscribed to. This
may
prove very useful the next time you  go on vacation and need to leave
the
lists temporarily so as  not to fill up your mailbox  while you are
away!
You should also save the "welcome messages" from the list owners that
you
will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the
list,
just send mail to SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU. This is called
"sending
mail to the list", because you send mail to a single address and
LISTSERV
makes  copies  for all  the  people  who  have subscribed.  This
address
(SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU) is  also called  the "list  address".
Do
not send commands to that address, as they will be distributed to all
the
people who have subscribed.

All    commands   must    be    sent   to    the   "LISTSERV
address",
LISTSERV () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU.

You  may leave  the list  at  any time  by sending  a "SIGNOFF
SECURITY"
command to LISTSERV () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU. You can also tell LISTSERV
how
you want it to  confirm the receipt of messages you send  to the list.
If
you do  not trust  the system,  send a "SET  SECURITY REPRO"  command
and
LISTSERV will send you  a copy of your own messages, so  that you can
see
that the  message was  distributed and  did not get  damaged on  the
way.
After a while  you may find that this is  getting annoying, especially
if
your mail program does not tell you  that the message is from you when
it
informs you that new  mail has arrived from SECURITY. If  you send a
"SET
SECURITY  ACK   NOREPRO"  command,  LISTSERV   will  mail  you   a
short
acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your
mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this
is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn
off
acknowledgements completely with "SET SECURITY NOACK NOREPRO".

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription
options
have been set to "REPRO NOACK  SUBJECTHDR" rather than the usual
LISTSERV
defaults. For more information about  subscription options, send a
"QUERY
SECURITY" command to LISTSERV () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU.

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get
a
list  of the  available  archive  files by  sending  an "INDEX
SECURITY"
command to LISTSERV () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU. You can then order these
files
with  a "GET  SECURITY  LOGxxxx" command,  or  using LISTSERV's
database
search facilities. Send  an "INFO DATABASE" command  for more
information
on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive
the
digested  version of  the  postings,  just issue  a  SET SECURITY
DIGEST
command.

IMPORTANT: This list is confidential. You should not publicly mention
its
existence, or forward copies of information  you have obtained from it
to
third  parties. Please  note  that the  "GIVE"  command is
automatically
disabled for all archive files.

To protect the  privacy of individuals subscribed to  the list,
authority
to issue  the standard LISTSERV  "REVIEW" command is limited  to
EDUCAUSE
staff. If  you need  information about subscribers  to this  list,
please
send an inquiry to CG () EDUCAUSE EDU.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the
LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO
REFCARD"
command to LISTSERV () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU.
