This package contains the results of the Academic Computer Network
Security Survey #1.

Please note that this survey was not designed scientifically and
that its results should not be interpreted as though it were. It
was meant as an informal means to gather and subsequently redistribute
information about the state of computer network security at academic
sites.

Since there are so many interpretations that could be made of the
data, I decided to only present a very informal summary of the data
and to include the raw data so that anyone can analyze it any way
they wish.

FILES:

survey		- the original survey
surveys.raw	- the returned surveys concatenated into one file
surveys.cooked	- surveys.raw reduced to just the answers
survey.summary  - an informal summary of the results of the survey

DIRECTORIES:

bySurvey/	- the reduced answers broken out into files by survey
byQuestion/     - the reduced answers broken out into files by question

The format of the reduced files consists of repeating sections of
a header followed by a body where the header is of the form <n> ---
<q> followed by a body consisting of one or more lines composing
an answer. For example:

....
40 --- 18.C)
[ tcp_wrapper, cops, swatch, perl ]
....

represents the answer to question 18.C provided by survey 40. Note
that some questions could have multiple answers.

I would appreciate any feedback you have on the concept of the
survey, the results, and any topics you would like covered in the
future.
