	I would like to hear why Mark Crispin's second definition isn't
a more pratical approach to the security issue.  If Unix is still vulnerable
after a decade of availability should we ever expect it to be safe?  Why also
should we pick on Unix (except its a good subject to evoke flames)?  My
years of experience in dealing with security indicates that data should
be encrypted whenever practical.  Relying on software or system adminstrators
is folly.
