There have been a number of security problems on the net lately. It appears
that there is a rather sophisticated array of web sniffers that are pulling
passwords and accounts off of the net. This makes the way we are doing 
distribution a large problem for anyone recieving a release. I think that
it amy be best to just provide a read protected directory in an anonymous
ftp account. 

Please have your system managers check for break-ins. We have seen the
replacement of the Unix tools - like ls and pwd - to mask the presence 
of hacker accounts. There are also directories like ... that contain
hacker tools. 

This is really becoming a pain in the butt. All ideas welcome.

Any comments, suggestions, rude criticisms???
