Just beating the long dead horse.... :-) Note that neither the "Morris worm"
nor any of the other "worm-supportive" bugs in sendmail, rmail, or uucp were
affected in the slightest by the C2 changes in OSx 5.1. These were all cases
of software that, by design, runs in a trusted and privileged environment, but
was too trusting of its data. 

(Those worm bugs were fixed in OSx 5.0, BTW.)
