Sorry I couldn't find FreeBSD mentioned in a better light :-(
Here is a complete transcription from a box on page 17 of the
Washington Business section of the Washington Post, June 26, 1995:
<<
DIGITALFLUBS
A piece of security software
widely used on computer networks
has a hole in it.
The federally funded Computer
Emergency Response Team said
it has distributed instructions on
how to correct the problem in
FreeBSD, a program created by a
software engineer in the
Netherlands.
In some circumstances, the
hole lets people tapping into a
computer see and alter
informaiton that should be
off-limits to them.
FreeBSD is an "enhancement" to
S/Key, a program that controls
password access to networked
computers.
S/Key itself does not have the
problem.

Jordan, you often get blamed for FreeBSD. So what did you do this time?
