Anyone know what happened to Perry, the guy who posted the clist peeker to net.sources about a year ago? I assume he's been blacklisted from all Unix systems present and future. Who knows the real story?

I can't speak for his network access, but Kivolowitz gave a pretty
good talk at last summer's Utah USENIX meeting about optical storage
media, so he is around.

Who knows the real story? Perry is alive and quite well, living in Madison Wisconsin. He is the Unix Software Products Manager for Heurikon Corporation. Since joining Heurikon Corporation seven months ago he has introduced QIC-02 stream- ing tape support, CIPRICO Tapemaster support, SCSI winchester support, and Matrox Frame Buffer support to the Heurikon product line. Perry does not regret sending the source to a clist grabber to the net insofar as it fulfilled his intent which was to make Unix systems less easily broken into by ``bad-guys.'' Many sites responded favorably to his suggestion of making /dev/kmem unreadable by the world thus plug- ging that particular hole. Perry does regret, however, his specific choice of commentary supplied with the program and apologized for it soon after it was posted. Thanks for the interest, and do follow up if anyone wants to get in touch with me.
