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? Chuck Bacon - crtb@helix.nih.gov ABHOR SECRECY - DEFEND PRIVACY
