I have had a request to try and determine what versions of EMACS on
our some of our systems might have the flaw that was brought to light
by Clifford Stolls investigations and subsequent book.

Can anyone tell me which versions had this flaw?

Sorry if this has been covered recently; I am only a lowly system admin,
and as such get to ask questions such as this. Mail or post; either
will work, as I'll read this newsgroup for a while.

Thanks;

PS, if you want to know what the flaw was, read the book!
