| Are you saying that *anybody* who uses a system should be made to sign a
| non-disclosure agreement?  I doubt that any university (with several hundred
| students on a typical Unix machine) could force all of them to sign any such
| thing.

At which point we can drop Unix and its paranoid owner, AT&T, in the
dungheap and go for something sane.  Maybe if we push this, AT&T will
get it together (if it CAN)...
