Hey, Reply-To: stopped biting me. That's not a complaint. But
apologies to Mr. Edwards who will needlessly get 2 copies of this.

Hands up all the Solaris admins who believe that one. Oh, dear.

I think it's generally agreed to be Novell.

<http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20010409S0012> thinks it's UNC.

Likewise <http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/5/18265.html>.

Aha. <http://www.novell.com/products/smallbiz/family_spread.pdf> is a
document from Novell that explicitly claims UNC.

Frankly your dismissal of this as an April 1 story is absurd; I am not
given to repeating unsubstantiated urban myths.
