Hello Ross!

On 04/12/2002, Ross Cassell was caught whispering to Bob Short about
Security Breach.

 RC>>> My apologies to all for not having the security access level set
 RC>>> properly f this echo, which allowed Roy Witt of Fidonet 1:10/22,
 RC>>> to log on as a DAN CEPPAHOLE and plaster 4 messages into this
 RC>>> area, this has been repaired.
 RC>
 BS>> But... but... he /is/ a moderator.  ;-)

 RC> You got a point there, and the person whose name he slandered is a
 RC> moderator...

There is no "Dan Ceppahole" listed as a moderator in any echoes I have seen.

 RC> Since he admitted the act (undeniable anyway), there really was no breach
 RC> of this echo..

Wrong.  There was no way that you could undeniably have know that it was Roy
at the time of the occurance.  That was not possible until after the fact when
you checked the logs and did your traces/pings.  Therefore, it could just as
easily have been any malicious user.

Therefore I feel it is still a breach.

 RC> Thanks for the different viewpoint, my apology still stands nevertheless.

As it should and as tainted as it was, yes.

Robert.
