Does anybody have a working e-mail address for Henry Spencer? I've tried his "zoo.utoronto..." address but the box is refusing SMTP connections (from me, at least). Alternatively, could someone e-mail him and see if he would be interested in joining the TUHS list?

There is a Henry Spencer <henry(a)spsystems.net>, who about a year ago or so posted to the IETF TLS list and posted to comp.compilers a decade ago. When I saw the name, I wondered if it was Henry@zoo but I did not enquire. I never met Henry, despite walking past Zoo almost daily when I was a grad student. As such, any email from an unknown like me may be discarded. N.

Sounds like Henry Utzoo; many yonks ago, I actually met him at a private party (you had to quote one of his signatures from sci.space etc). Long story. I think my pass-phrase was "SUN-ish: requiring 32-bit bug numbers" or something. Great party; I don't remember most of it :-) -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."

That's the truth, I was there and can assure you that 16 bits were not enough :)
