I'm not sure the term is Unix-specific. At a fairly early stage, people= who
worked on the ARPANET/Internet (when PDP-10's were still the 'usual= ' host, and
Unix systems were just starting to beceome common) were jokingly known as 'network grey-beards': the prototypical one being Jon Postel. (Vint= Verf's
beard was too tidy to qualify, IIRC!)
