Wow. Some might feel offended when somebody, in 2019, asks them to read a text written in 1975 in order to improve their understanding of computer security. That article predates a number of modern mitigations contained in OpenBSD, including those in UNIX 32v (1979) and in 3BSD (1980)... ;-) Then again, 10 years before he wrote this article, the author, Prof. Dr. Jerry Salzer, while working on his Ph.D thesis, laid the crucial foundations for the documentation system we are still using today, so he appears to have a certain inclination towards creations of lasting value: https://manpages.bsd.lv/history.html Maybe i should read that article after all... :-) Yours, Ingo
