Heh.  I wasn't sure of your definition.

I sure beat watching TV tonight, though, I bet.

BTW, has anyone notices that no one is asking for IPSec coverage?

This reminds me.  I once wrote a script that would walk specified directory
and do the equiv of an rcsdiff and a timestamp check to report any
configuration files that were changed without checking them in.

We inflicted that script on a lot of clients.  No more "we didn't change that
file" whines once we could e-mail them with the evidence :)

G'nite.  I'm going to post that contest after all then go home (it's 8pm
here).
