  12. I heard that early UNIX systems came with a Trojan Horse.
  13. As I remember, the C compiler would compile one of the utilities
  14. in a way that would give a knowledgable person entry into any UNIX
  15. system.
  16.  
  17. Does anyone know anything about this?
  18. Like some other people who are asking such questions,
  19. I am indeed writing a term paper on UNIX security.

  21. THANKS!
