Sounds fine to me.  As a reminder, also, anybody willing to help out on
the security is more than welcome.  I'm more busy now with work that I'd
really like assistants.  I've fallen behind on keeping things patched
more than I would like.  Often the section guru has beaten me to it. ;)
Also, anybody willing to work on more proactive security like grsec/acl
stuff, securing up default configs (chrooting/nonroot/etc) and making
configuration scripts for many of the server spells, please jump on
board.  The Security Team is a good place to learn; you don't have to be
an expert by any means.  We're approaching 1.0 release and the publicity
might mean if you get in on the ground running (helping out) now, you'll
be higher than all the newcomers on seniority and can boss them around ;).

Remember, it looks great on a resume.

Seth
Security Team Leader
