	Here at the U. of I., the local student chapter of the Association
for Computing Machinery has accepted a challenge to attempt to break into
Gould's new `secure' UNIX OS.

	Would you wizards out there please send me (Chairman of local ACM)
some detailed possible attacks on holes in UNIX OS's? I will pass the info
on to our attack team, and to no one else (as I am also manager of an academic
facility machine, I have a vested interest in maintaining such info secure).

	Only attacks on system software will be considered acceptable. Bribing
a sys op would probably work but is not acceptable for the purposes of the
attack; neither are methods such as loading the system down until it crashes.

	Please mail me the info rather than posting it.
