the joy of messing with users.. anyone else have any nasty but funny tricks to pull on others ? Reminds me of the very old DoS attack paper that explained many attacks including the fork bomb, haha. Anyone remember that paper ?
Anyway, I'm sure we could come up with more..

There's a pile of things to do...recently, I changed many of the basic unix commands on a freebsd box to <cmd>_old and setup a script to exec reboot for each cmmd (ps, ls, pwd, etc)..
good times..
