Ahouxt.193 net.general,net.unix-wizards utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ihnss!houxi!houxt!govern Thu Mar 4 17:07:18 1982 Security My deparment does proprietary work, and we are concerned about the security of our UNIX file systems. I would very much appreciate if you would try to steal some of my files -- I'm not concerned about the details of your method (yet). The files are on the houxt machine, which is ucbvax!ihnss!houxt My login is govern, and the files are: /t1/govern/readthese/STEALTHIS1 /t1/govern/readthese/STEALTHIS2 /t1/govern/paranoid/STEALTHIS3 About a year ago, we had some concerns about file system security -- the uux command lets you do some things, and our BLN high-speed network has more flexibility. The computer center systems here are fairly unprotected; by this I mean we have uucp and BLN available. Some of the word processing center systems are no longer on uucp because of this, and various departments doing sensitive work have their own machines. I would prefer to keep my own level of paranoia as low as possible, because enhancing security reduces the flexibility available on the system. Thus, I miss having fairly direct access to the WP Center's files, but they had to be protected. Please steal my files! thanks; Bill Stewart ucbvax!ihnss!houxt!govern or teklabs!cbosg!ihnss!govern 1-201-577-5122 Bell Labs FJ 1C-112, Freehold NJ. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
