I wasn't trying to interpret anything. The poster had mentioned the
georgia law and I thought an excerpt of that law might help clarify the
issue. 

As another posting mentioned, I believe the sysadmins suspected an
account of being misused and looked at the mail for that account and
that's how they traced it the /etc/passwd mail note back to the student.
I don't think the actual mailing of /etc/passwd was the reason for the
brouhaha, rather, it appears it was the misuse of an account that didn't
belong to that student.  I also presume that the valid owner of the 
account complained to the sysadmins although your guess is as good as
mine. :-) 

I think a lot of this flame war could have been avoided if all of the
facts of this particular case were known to the group.
