I started this thread and here is where I comment again. I see your above example and think of one of my own. A "script kiddy" gets ahold of a list of usernames and passwords of a machine at fakedomain.com. He is at the local university and needs a shell to telnet to the machine and use the illegally obtained login and passwords. A machine running The HURD is nearby... Thanks, Alan P.
