Of course, this means that anyone who wishes to read it can do so, and while a lot of general interest discussions occur on this list, a fair amount of security issues are discussed. I know that in the past this issue has been discussed on this list, but I don't seem to recall any situation where an entire university was allowed to read Info-Vax. For those of you that have any comments on what Carnegie Mellon has decided to do, send me mail [JM9W@TE.CC.CMU.EDU - Internet, R021JM9W@CMCCVB - Bitnet], and I will summarize your replies to the non-Vax-using management who have made this decision. Thank you. -Jim Murawski -Computing Center Software -Carnegie Mellon University -Pittsburgh, PA -------
