STILL no hashed passwords.  So if your running something like an 8820
with lots and lots of users and have a binary distribution, expect to
dedicate a processor to doing "ls -l"'s.

Oh yeah:

    ultrix 3.0 %  strings /usr/ucb/lock | head
    eley) 3/30/83

    Again:

    @(#)printf.c
    (ULTRIX)
    11/23/87
    @(#)signal.c
    ultrix 3.0 %

I know of a few sites that have sold their 8820's, bought a used 8650's
(made some money) and put up 4.3tahoe and noticed about the same
performance.
