  Actually, it's important for systems managers to know how people can
attack your system.  I managed to snag a document on hacking the hp3000
that was floating around on the Internet.  I forwarded this to Isaac,
in the hopes that it could be useful material for SIGSYSMAN.  I considered
sending it to this list, but have not done so up to this point.  Security
through obscurity is certainly nonsense.
