With all the discussion of whether NCSA picked their name (or didn't pick their name) to resemble the National Center for Supercomputer Applications, I think you're missing the point. I've always assumed that they picked their name to deliberately resemble the "National Computer Security Center" (NCSC), which is the part of the U.S. DoD that historically approved computer system security (i.e., the "Orange Book" evaluations). Since NCSA was offering a faster/cheaper evaluation that NCSC (albeit arguably without any real quality), this was a real advantage. The similarity is sufficient that (back when the NCSC actually mattered) I saw magazine articles confuse the two, quoting NCSA people about Orange Book evaluations. Just a hypothesis... - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
