Not to name any names, but I know off-hand of several individuals with
access to UNIX-WIZARDS that wouldn't bat an eye at trying each and
every security hole they find on each and every UNIX system they gain
access to.  I learned long ago that even access to the ARPA net (much
less USENET) is not limited to `good guys'.

Just hang around a university computer center for a while, and you'll
see just what I mean.

Perhaps UNIX-WIZARDS gets to a more exclusive audience than people
parked at a suburban shopping center, but I see no reason to think
that the audience is a more benign one...  I sure wish it was.
