For those that are only reading this on the mailing list and haven't been following up to the link mentioned above, the important bit of "when will we know" that's noted in the wiggy.net link is as follows: " We expect to need until Wednesday and ask for your patience until then. Afterwards when we have all the facts we will explain what exactly happened and how we hope to prevent this from happening again in the future." We've still got many hours of Wednesday left and if the people in charge of this are like many hackers I know, it'll be near the end of the day before anything would be posted. Please Kjetil, don't take my email as a "RTFM" type dismissive answer as I mean no disrespect at all to you, but wanted to inform others on the list that this update info is expected sometime today... j -- ================================================== + It's simply not | John Keimel + + RFC1149 compliant! | [EMAIL PROTECTED] + + | http://www.keimel.com + ==================================================
