FreeBSD Handbook page at

>Description:
Handbook description of freebsd-security mailing list is "Security issues".
Mailing list is flooded with questions about how to use ssh, how 
to log in, how to configure IPFW, etc.	Problem is multiplied by 
three responses telling them they should have posted their question 
on freebsd-questions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Subscribe to freebsd-security mailing list and expect technical 
discussion of security issues.
>Fix:
On 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html
change description of freebsd-security mailing list to read

freebsd-security    Security aspects of proposed changes to FreeBSD

or 

freebsd-security    Discussion of security aspects of proposed changes

or similar wording.

Similar change required for 
http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists

I believe the proposed phrasing accurately summarizes the 
security list charter, which limits it to strictly 
technical discussion.
