As I read that I thought it must have been written from only the worst viewpoint and entirely too close and too far at the same time. I would have bought that it was a real point-of-view. FWIW, I've done time in the tech-support trenches. > Oooh! I have an AMD CPU *and* the Perl book!

What's funny is that last night I 'defaced' a Sparc IPC's boot banner and reset the hostid / mac address.. Now it thinks it's serial number is #31337. But I knew the owner wouldn't mind... it didn't have an OS yet, and he's one of the circle of h@xX0rs anyway. The other funny thing was watching a guy walk out of a building to go get keys and see one of the other guys I was with "break into" his laptop. Turns out $DUDE had an account on it and $OWNER hadn't changed the root password in three years... That was rectified shortly.... ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
