The Slashdot story was in fact posted yesterday, although the URL changed:
http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/12/17/203204/Openwall-Linux-30-mdash-No-SUIDs-Anti-Log-Spoofing
100+ comments so far. Now I'd appreciate some community help in
moderating the comments thread. As expected, a lot of people
inadvertently posted misleading comments (jumped to conclusions without
reading), which I and (GM) corrected with further comments. Can our
corrections be modded up such that the truth is more easily seen? :-)

If anyone is curious, we got 4800+ extra website hits from Slashdot so far.
This would be nothing new for JtR (it gets this much and more daily anyway),
but it is significant for Owl.
Thanks again,
Alexander
