Re: History question, Morris worm

I don't have paper or email documentation.  I know what I know because the friend was Andy Sudduth. He was the first 
postmaster at the OSF. I came to work at the OSF a several months after the worm was released, and heard the story from 
the other Computer Facilities people who were there at the time.

I think that Sudduth testified at the trial, but he had left the OSF by the time the case went to trial.  So I think 
this was all discussed in the court documents of Morris' prosecution. Those should be public domain.

At 06:24 PM 11/21/1999 -0800, George Herbert supposedly said:

I have printouts of all the Usenet traffic which was Worm-related
(not 100%, but close) over the few months immediately after.
I don't recall that story coming out.  That doesn't mean it
didn't happen, but I'd like to see some documentation.
