- "A" security hole? Everybody together now, UNIX IS NOT SECURE,
- regardless of vendor. Period.
-
- The amusing thing is that VMS was touted to be secure. Guffaw!
- Every new release of VMS had at least one emergency patch for
- security that closed a hole that allowed a non-priv'ed user to log
- in as system.
-
- If you want a secure system, put it in a metal and concrete box with
- a vault door (two are preferable :-)
