Title: Re: The Security of UNIX - the proposed unix-security
Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.2306
There really isn't an easy solution. If BTL were to send bug fixes
to licensees periodically (for an appropriate fee) it might help.
****But the probability of that is exactly zero****; besides, they
don't have a monopoly on wizards (as this list attests), and could
easily miss something.
On the contrary, with the advent of System V, BTL (via Western Electric) is
fully supporting the UNIX operating system, sending out bug fixes, providing
a Hot-Line phone, .... In short, almost everything you wanted since you
started dipping your fingers into UNIX. Granted, they don't provide some of
the nice things that BSD UNIX has, but BSD UNIX doesn't have many of the
nice things that USG UNIX has, either.
UNIX is finally growing up.
