Asri-unix.1307 net.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!cca!lauren@UCLA-Security@sri-unix Fri Apr 23 12:05:21 1982 unix security flaw and delayed mail From: lauren at UCLA-Security (Lauren Weinstein) To anyone wondering why I announced that article about the so-called "security flaw" several days after it had already been discussed... I sent the original message from Rand-Unix on Mar. 3. For some reason it never got distributed to Unix-Wizards until a WEEK later. I'd be curious to know the reason why! Also, I just noticed that the software that ports Unix-Wizards across to the usenet strips off the original date information, so usenet people would have no way of knowing the original message was sent that long ago. I consider this to be a bug.
