Sorry for the cross-posting...
 
Here's yet *ANOTHER* worm program to add to your 'Selective File Filter'
control files:  'EID EXEC'. This  one seems to  be from SAUPM00,  and is
amazingly  enough not  a  clone of  the others  we've  seen lately,  and
although written  in Rexx, looks  like it  was written by  somebody more
familiar with  EXEC-2. It's  replication code is  rather lame,  and this
will fortunately tend to slow down its rate of propagation.
 
Has somebody from Bitnic talked to the Gulfnet powers-that-be about this
situation? It's  getting more  than slightly  tiresome. If  things don't
improve in  the near  future, it's  going to  become *very*  tempting to
automagically trap *everything* from the  problem nodes, just so I don't
have to add Yet Another Exec every 2-3 days...
