Dirk,

Appreciate your note and concern. Let me just start by saying, "don't
believe everything you read in the press :-)". I can assure you that my
primary interest and concern is for the Tru64 customers and that the
Tru64 engineering team is committed to finding and fixing any security
problem in the product and getting these fixes/notifications out to
customers ASAP. Trying to do everything possible for Tru64
customers is what motivates and brings me to work every day
(and night :-). We also encourage our customers and 3rd parties
that find security issues in the product to coordinate through the
CERT process, which has been set up to support both product
vendors and customers. Again, I appreciate your concern and
feedback.

Kent ...

dear mr. ferson,

instead of threatening the people who do YOUR work of finding bugs in
your product you should simply thank them, fix the bug and move along.
this last act of yours doesnt give us as customers great confidence in
your way of handling security related issues within your products.

best regards
