    That takes me back! gtetrinet was the first program I reported a security-bug in, which eventually lead to the first Debian security advisory I can take credit for: https://www.debian.org/security/2002/dsa-205 https://www.debian.org/security/2002/dsa-205 And of course I only started poking around because it was a game I played very very often in the office at the time.
