If you are reading this file, you have access to UCS. As you know, the server has moved to inet address 37.3.3.2; telnet there as superuser to enter command mode. Unauthorized use of the UCS system will result in severe penalties. You are contracted to keep the existence of UCS a secret; information leaks are dangerous and will be dealt with appropriately. Do not attempt to enter the "private" directory.
