- DDN/MILNET TAC HERALD
-
- The Defense Communications Agency (DCA) has been in the process of
- developing a patch to all MILNET Terminal Access Controllers (TACs)
- that would remove the DDN "WELCOME" banner. This was being done as a
- security measure to cease the identification of the system as
- belonging to the DDN/MILNET, and the type of operating system/software
- it uses, etc. In addition, DCA wishes to make it clear that
- unauthorized use of the DDN/MILNET is not permitted.
-
- The purpose of this bulletin is to inform addressees that the new TAC
- herald is ready for fielding. An example of the new herald is as
- follows:
- FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
- NIC 1-800-235-3155
- 29 TAC 114 #:20
-
- If you have any questions or problems concerning this change, contact
- DCA, Code DODM, no later than 14 November 90. Otherwise, the new TAC
- herald will be changed effective 15 November 90.
-
- DCA POC is Maj. Boyd, DSN 312-222-7580 or Comm 703-692-7580.
