Does anyone have a record or pointer regarding the login names of the
early Unix contributors? A few (aho, dmr, bwk, doug) are listed in
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/, but many others seem to be missing.
In particular I'm interested in the login names of following people:
S. R. Bourne
D. Haight
S. C. Johnson
J. F. Maranzano
L. E. McMahon
S. I. Feldman
J. F. Ossanna
M. E. Lesk
R. H. Morris
D. A. Nowitz
I guess the /etc/passwd file from a Bell Labs system of the mid 1970s
would be ideal, but even partial recollections would help me.

In particular I'm interested in the login names of following people:
S. R. Bourne
`srb' as printed in his book ``The UNIX System''.
Others will likely be able to help in a larger scale.

See below, from Brian Kernighan (I asked :-)
And FWIW, I note that in the "Electronic Mail Without Aliases" paper from
1980, Mike Lesk uses "research!mel" as his own email address.
