There have been several maintenance releases of Dynix since Novemeber
1988.  There was in particular a security maintenance release that
addressed problems in the area that interests you.  Either you do not
have a service agreement or our records are incorrect.  In either case
I would suggest you contact

		Sequent Service
		sequent!svcmailbug
		800-854-9969 (usa only)
		503-526-4164
		503-526-3731 FAX

hope this helps.
