I'd like to reccomend a new book for everyone to read. It's called THE
CUCKOO'S EGG by Clifford Stoll. It's an intriguing TRUE story of his following
the electronic "trail" of a spy in Germany as that spy spent almost two years
waltzing through all the backdoors and holes in UNIX and VMS systems in
computers in Universities and on military locations as well as defense
contractors and computer designers locations. 

While not specifically an Apple topic, I feel that the "hacker" <in the old
sense, not the pirate sense> in all of us can appreciate and enjoy the
electronic chase as well as the techiniques used. 

Enjoy!
