My favourite way is to "rsh hostname /bin/csh". I then source
.login. BY doing it this way I don't appear in utmp or wtmp, hence
w, who, finger, lastcom can't catch me. Ps, and top can catch me
however. Then I use the command "ch realcmd arguments" to run any
program. Ch basically puts spaces into argv[0]. This will hide it
from ps and top.
