I sure wouldn't mind if some trustworthy group took it upon themselves 
to randomly test systems for security problems and sent mail to root 
if they found anything.  Along with some guidelines for ethical 
security testing, I think it's just what we need.  A benign, carefully 
written worm could also be a good thing.
