Phillip was alert and noticed that our DBUTIL security
vulnerability has already been making the rounds.  He found it
at:

> http://www.securityfocus.com/advisories/2364

For those who do not normally keep close tabs on how well the
"rest of the world" tracks computer and network security issues,
a visit to the above is just one instructive example.  Our DBUTIL
issue is right there on the home page (www.securityfocus.com)
under "VULNERABILITIES".  Bugtraq id= 1405.  Summary sez:

"A vulnerability exists whereby a user can utilize
DBUTIL.PUB.SYS to elevate their privileges. This affect
versions 4.5 and newer of the MPE/iX operating system from
Hewlett Packard. The exact nature of this vulnerability is not known."

I like the last part...     :-)
