Nah, that's okay, Ronnie. We're just compiling names of the idea
posters here in case any one of them ever applies for a shell
account on vpnet. :-)
There's an ultra nasty way to bring Unix to a halt with a three
line shell script. Dennis Ritchie wrote about in an article on
Unix security some years back. How is it done? Let me on your
system - I'll demonstrate! Meanwhile, keep your cutsie memory
constipating programs on your own systems and off mine.
