Mailing lists and newsgroups

Mailing lists about FreeS/WAN

The project mailing lists

The Linux FreeS/WAN project has several email lists for user support, - bug reports and software development discussions.

We had a single list on clinet.fi for several years (Thanks, folks!), - then one list on freeswan.org, but now we've split into several lists:

-users

The general list for discussing use of the software
The place for seeking help with problems (but - please check the FAQ first).
Anyone can post.

bugs -

For bug reports.
If you are not certain what is going on -- could be a bug, a - configuration error, a network problem, ... -- please post to the users - list instead.
Anyone can post.

-design

Design discussions, for people working on FreeS/WAN - development or others with an interest in design and security issues.
It would be a good idea to read the existing design papers (see this list) before posting.
Anyone can post.

-announce

A low-traffic list.
Announcements about FreeS/WAN and related software.
All posts here are also sent to the users list. You need not - subscribe to both.
Only the FreeS/WAN team can post.
If you have something you feel should go on this list, send it to- announce-admin@lists.freeswan.org. Unless it is obvious, please - include a short note explaining why we should post it.

-briefs

A low-traffic list.
Weekly summaries of activity on the users list.
All posts here are also sent to the users list. You need not - subscribe to both.
Only the FreeS/WAN team can post.

To subscribe to any of these, you can:

just follow the links above
use our web interface -
send mail to listname-request@lists.freeswan.org with a - one-line message body "subscribe"

Archives of these lists are available via the - web interface.

Which list should I use?

For most questions, please check the FAQ - first, and if that does not have an answer, ask on the users list. "My - configuration doesn't work." does not belong on the bugs list, and "Can - FreeS/WAN do such-and-such" or "How do I configure it to..." do not - belong in design discussions.

Cross-posting the same message to two or more of these lists is - discouraged. Quite a few people read more than one list and getting - multiple copies is annoying.

List policies

US citizens or residents are asked not to post code to the - lists, not even one-line bug fixes. The project cannot accept - code which might entangle it in US export - restrictions.

Non-subscribers can post to some of these lists. This is necessary; - someone working on a gateway install who encounters a problem may not - have access to a subscribed account.

Some spam turns up on these lists from time to time. For discussion - of why we do not attempt to filter it, see the - FAQ. Please do not clutter the lists with complaints about this.

Archives of the lists

Searchable archives of the old single list have existed for some - time. At time of writing, it is not yet clear how they will change for - the new multi-list structure.

Canada
Holland

Note that these use different search engines. Try both.

Archives of the new lists are available via the - web interface.

Indexes of mailing lists

PAML is the standard reference for - Publicly Accessible Mailing - Lists. When we last checked, it had over 7500 lists on an - amazing variety of topics. It also has FAQ information and a search - engine.

There is an index of - Linux mailing lists available.

A list of - computer security mailing lists, with descriptions.

-linux-admin@vger.kernel.org, for Linux system administrators
-netfilter@lists.samba.org, about Netfilter, which replaces IPchains - in kernels 2.3.15 and later
-security-audit@ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk, for people working on security - audits of various Linux programs
-securedistros@humbolt.geo.uu.nl, for discussion of issues common to - all the half dozen projects working on secure Linux distributions.

Each of the scure distribution projects also has its own web site and - mailing list. Some of the sites are:

Bastille Linux scripts to - harden Redhat, e.g. by changing permissions and modifying inialisation - scripts
Immunix take a different approach, - using a modified compiler to build kernel and utilities with better - resistance to various types of overflow and exploit
the NSA have contractors working on - a Security Enhanced Linux, - primarily adding stronger access control mechanisms. You can download - the current version (which interestingly is under GPL and not export - resrtricted) or subscribe to the mailing list from the - project web page.

Lists for IETF working groups

Each IETF working group has an - associated mailing list where much of the work takes place.

ipsec@lists.tislabs.com -, the IPsec - working group. This is where the protocols are discussed, new - drafts announced, and so on. By now, the IPsec working group is winding - down since the work is essentially complete. A - list archive is available.
IPsec policy - list, and its archive
IP secure remote access - list, and its - archive

Other mailing lists
