Subj:	RE: VMS Security Update

My understanding is that this update is a new thing.  Due to the futzing 
around (I refuse to use the term hacking in this sense!!) of the Chaos
Computer Club in Munich (?), a hole in vms security was found that may allow
non-privileged users to crash the system.  *THIS IS A RUMOR*  I don't have
any one place that I have gotten a whole story from.  However, the release
notes recommend highly, and I tend to agree, that you install the security
update.
