I disagree.  Lenny's posting caused me to fix some holes on my system.  And
triggered some other security related questions that I am going to research.
If I can't find the answer anywhere, I might post the question to
unix-pc.general or comp.unix.questions.  Have you read comp.os.vms recently?
There has been alot of heated discussion about security holes.

I beleive that unix-pc.general is a perfect place to discuss such issues since
we are all unix-pc owner's.

Signed,

Dave "Please keep me informed on my security holes" Arnold.
