Huh what? Not any version of primos I am familiar with, although it may have been true prior to rev 19.0. Do you also make accusations about unix for bugs that exested in v6? Rev 21.0 primos (currently in beta test) will have C2 security as an option. Not many unix vendors can supply C2 security. I've got system administrator (==root) rights on the main prime systems at USC, I will report the bug and get pressure put on to get the bug fixed immediatly if in fact it does exist. Prime does tend to listen to their multi-million dollar customers. Please do inform me about this, USC has a lot riding on the security of their Primes. -- Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Ecla.Usc.Edu Uucp: {sdcrdcf,seismo!cit-vax}!oberon!castor!blarson "How well do we use our freedom to choose the illusions we create?" -- Timbuk3
