Perry is alive and quite well, living in Madison Wisconsin. He is the
Unix Software Products Manager for Heurikon Corporation. Since joining
Heurikon Corporation seven months ago he has introduced QIC-02 stream-
ing tape support, CIPRICO Tapemaster support, SCSI winchester support,
and Matrox Frame Buffer support to the Heurikon product line.
Perry does not regret sending the source to a clist grabber to the net
insofar as it fulfilled his intent which was to make Unix systems less
easily broken into by ``bad-guys.'' Many sites responded favorably to
his suggestion of making /dev/kmem unreadable by the world thus plug-
ging that particular hole. Perry does regret, however, his specific
choice of commentary supplied with the program and apologized for it
soon after it was posted.
Thanks for the interest, and do follow up if anyone wants to get in
touch with me.
