The following people have had an important role in making this distribution
a reality:

Eugene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu): Grand poobah, overall
	coordinator, encourager, guide and spiritual leader.

Diego Zamboni (zamboni@cs.purdue.edu): Wrote most of the base code of
	the prototype (under classes/AAFID), the GUI, and some
	agents. The one to blame for most of the bugs you find.

Susana Soriano (soriano@cs.purdue.edu): Wrote the initial
	implementation of the filters mechanism (in
	classes/AAFID/Filter.pm).

Frederic Dumont (fdm@cs.purdue.edu): Wrote the new event-based
	mechanism that greatly increases the capabilities and
	flexibility of all entities.

The following people wrote agents and filters, and discovered a lot of
bugs in the base code, and provided a lot of feedback:

Tom Daniels (daniels@cs.purdue.edu): ARPWatcher
Ben Kuperman (kuperman@cs.purdue.edu): CheckFilePermissions
Penka Markova (pvm@cs.purdue.edu): FTP, LFS, PasswdFilesChecker,
      GroupFilesChecker.
Susana Soriano (soriano@cs.purdue.edu): Agents - SU.
      Filters - Fproc, Ftcpw.
Diego Zamboni (zamboni@cs.purdue.edu): Agents - CheckInet,
      CheckInetPeriodic, CheckNFSserver, CheckRhosts, CmdSequence,
      ConnSameHost, CPUload, DiskSpace, LoginFailures, SYNflood,
      SpaceTmp, WeirdConn. Filters - ActiveSockets, CPUload,
      FileSystems.
Mahesh Tripunitara (tripunit@cs.purdue.edu): Agents - Land,
      SYNFloodAsync, IllegalIPPackets. Filters - LibpcapFilter.

The following people also deserve special mention; they provided long
and productive discussions about many aspects of this project: Tom
Daniels, Ivan Krsul, Ben Kuperman, Susana Soriano, Gene Spafford,
Mahesh Tripunitara.

Dennis Brylow (brylow@cs.purdue.edu), Jared Crane
(crane@cs.purdue.edu), Pailien Hsieh (pailien@ecn.purdue.edu) and
Christopher Telfer (telfer@cs.purdue.edu) tested this distribution
before it was shipped.

Stephanie Miller (millersa@cs.purdue.edu) tested the first
distribution before it was shipped.

The project sponsor provided some valuable feedback, questions and
suggestions for the first sponsors-only release of this system.
