Having my work thwarted at 1 AM by undisciplined yayhoos made me a bit =
cranky. It awakened my suppressed inner facist.

There were files such as eng63_passwords sitting there in plain sight, =
and yes the contents of the file was exactly what its name implies. Oh, =
and back-door wasn't the password.

Our little buddy Kumar was sucking up 1 Gbyte of space with what =
appeared to be complete root filesystems for cheetah bobcat and cougar. =
It looked to be a partial copy of an /n/Build-Trees directory.

I took one look at that crud and my mind went; "Cry havoc and release =
the hounds of war!"

Later dude,

Larry

Dude.  I can't tell if you're channeling me or Jay.  Freaky.
