Anyway, he told you (rather politely) to F... O... - and is quite right to
do so. I congratulate him on seeing the light so soon - I've often found
that the "non malicious" script kiddies quite often turn whitehat once
whacked sharply across the head.
I've advised Sibayan to post any further mails like this directly to LI
... and cc Thaths. So folks - you still want to mail him for crack
software, feel free to do so.

[Your server <=> you'd have root access to it. I can ftp as guest to,
say, sendmail.org - that doesn't mean I have that server. Please clarify]
..... and Sibayan's reply to both posts --
------ start ---------
Respected Mr. [foo]
First of all I'm not a cracker. Cracking into a system is ILLEGAL LIKE HELL.
I don't do such things.
Please don't send me personal messages like this. If you've something to ask
regarding security, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There, there're other porper linux gurus, they'll provide your answers.
Mr. Suresh Ramasubramanian + President, CAUCE India & Mr. Indranil Das Gupta
+ Sysop ILUG-CAl alredy wheeped me with there epens. And I'm expecting
something more teribble from VSNL itself. Yesterday at night I couldn't
sleep because of nightmares.
Regards
Sibayan
