certainly a Butthead......
OK - Butthead - breaking in to a machine *illegaly* is NOT a hack. Doing it
and then doing (or having a virus do) a low level format is Moronic...unless

It's people like you that are making the net tighter than ever......

Wrote a whole set of quickie scripts that get info from the system....
really lame....as a lame example, this script called 'name' in which
you provide eiother a logif or a Fristname or Lastname and gets
all the matches....ypcat & grep....As I said...lame (but faster than
finger!)
