I **THOUGHT** something seemed amiss here since (the last I'd heard)
ksh88e was a commercial product. Someone at OSU should be more
careful! the 'receive' directory was world-accessible (777) so that
anyone who logged in that day (or until it was discovered and removed)
could have slurped up a copy! [For the file police - I DID NOT THEN
OR EVER DO THAT!!!!]
I'm quite glad that this has been straightened up. Hate to get anyone
in trouble but I'd also hate to see the OSU archives become
unavailable!
Whew! You're not kidding. And I should have remembered from my signing onto
the Toolchest last year that when one orders something the order is shipped
via uucp to a site of one's choosing.
If someone has Karl Kleinpaste's email address handy, he should be advised of
this to PREVENT any problems in the future; seems like "maybe" a simple umask
change is all that's required to prevent us all from getting more gray hairs
over the thought of losing a resource like osu-cis.
