Howdy,

IMHO this thread is getting a bit long in the tooth.  Everyone pick
up the phone and call HP regarding SR 4701338830.  I call the HPRC
engineer yesterday (Thu 10/31/96 at 3:30 CST).  He reports that a
patch for the 3K 5.0 OS has been developed and the Expert Center
is awaiting approval from the LAB as it regards security issues.

That's 'bout all I know.  However, if someone could respond under
another thread I have a question.  If a person knowingly disrupts
computer services, crashes it floods it or whatever, they can legally
be held reponsible for damages.  What is the legal exposure if a
person publishes the exact syntax to cause denial of services from
a computer?
