I'm less sure. Does RTM frequent these boards?

His father authored the relevant unix manual IIRC (they used to be a bunch of binders above a unix hackers desk usually shipped from whoever sold you the system.) I also had in my head that his father was the likely source of the wizard password backdoor in sendmail.

Anyway, would love to know for sure.

Assuming this is the real rtm, then he has an account, but he doesn't comment very often.
