This usually refers to a quote from a paper by DMR about 7RE, which quote
I've forgotten (and I didn't get to keep those manuals...). I recall two
quotes that apply, actually: one about Unix being intended to share
information, not hide it, and another which basically said "don't look here
for security".

Anyone have a copy of the documentation that came with 7RE still, to check
this? :-)
