	My god....

	....what a sentence!





	What made, and, makes, the new system insecure at Murdoch, is the
	implementation of the system, with the other systems still in place,
using the
	password of an existing system, as the user name of the new sytem,
requiring
	users to know other users' passwords on the existing system, and,
requiring
	users to know the index for finding confidential information about
other users,
	and, having a helpdesk that completely misrepresents the total
situation.
