The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) is a British independent not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, which was established in 2003 upon the recommendation of the public inquiry into the Ladbroke Grove rail crash.[1] It is owned by rail industry stakeholders, including Network Rail, infrastructure managers, train operating companies and rolling stock companies.[2] As a condition of their license obligations, most train operators are required by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to be members of RSSB and to comply with the obligations of membership. [3]


According to the ORR "The RSSB's principal objective is to lead and facilitate the rail industry's work to achieve continuous improvement in the health and safety performance of the railways in Great Britain."[3]


In this regard, it is intended to lead the other bodies associated with the Great Britain rail network:


  • The Office of Rail and Road – regulatory body


  • Network Rail – owner and maintainer of rail infrastructure

  • The Rail Delivery Group – operators of services on the network

(there is also National Rail which is the public face of the rail network).


The Board is responsible for the publication and updating of the British Railway Rule Book,[4] which defines technical standards and operating procedures. The RSSB promotes the Trackoff programme promoting rail safety within schools,[5] and the Sustainable Rail Programme[6] which has been established to support the rail industry in reaching its full potential for a sustainable transport system.
In conjunction with UIC, RSSB provides SPARK, a web tool for the rail industry to share information and help drive innovation.[7]


RSSB also operates the GB railway supplier assurance scheme RISQS,[8] and the confidential incident reporting line, CIRAS.[9]

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
