Now that worm breeders out there have been informed of my permission, I hope the sysadmins here at Berkeley look at security holes with the same anus-clenching-thrill that the original worm gave them. > I don't think it was O.K., I think he should be punished, and I >think that his being punished will discourage others from this type of >activity in the future. You *think* this? Does this mean you're going to go back and put your head in the sand until the next nasty comes along, and then complain and whine about what a terrible terrible thing miscreants are on com- puter networks? Do you also believe that if you wish real hard, your wish comes true? Do you try real hard to blow out all your candles on your birthday cake? Do you step over cracks on sidewalks?
