Here's the info from the FBI on this matter.  Passwords and userid XXX'ed
out to protect the guilty.

Mind you, what they say is "sourceware/egcs" does seem to be cruftware.
That /dev/ptyrg file lives on crufty, not sourceware.

Just out of curiosity, Marc, how did you verify that this fellow is a
genuine FBI person?

I went to www.fbi.gov, found the local FBI office phone number in San
Francisco, called them up, told them who I was, and inquired about Mr
Walton.

They told me he is an agent currently working for the FBI out of their
office.
