>Description:
A note in the "DNS" chapter in "Advanced Networking" points to the wrong mailing list for security topics.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read "Advanced Networking" the part about DNS,
and see that in the "security" section the recommendation
is to subscribe to "-announce" for security information.
This is bogus.
Just wail 'till the next 'remote-root-exploit' for BIND and see for yourself. :)

 Hello,
 
 I think that suggesting -security for people who only want to track
 security announcements is quite a bit gross. Especially lately there are
 quite a few people there who have nothing better to do than chat about
 just any topic that crosses their mind, no matter if it is really
 off-topic. So the traffic is at times large and the S/N ratio sometimes
 terrible, not something a busy sysadmin would want to monitor.
 
 If you just want the security advisories, you should pick
 security-notifications. But they are also mailed to -announce, plus a
 there you get a few other items that you might be interested in as a
 FreeBSD user. The advisories are also mailed to eg bugtraq. (or at least
 used to)

State-Changed-Why:  
-security-notifications would be the most ideal list here, 
although -announce is also sent the advisories. 

Committed this change, thanks!
