In the TOPS-20 community, DEC has a procedure called CTCO's (Confidential Technical Change Orders) which only go to the site's designated administrator/guru for distributing security bug announcements and fixes. It fails miserably. At least half the sites have problems getting ANY CTCO announcements out of DEC, and so many sites have leaks that a CTCO is barely out before the "cracker net" finds out all about it. Spread the word and get the damn bug fixed! -------
