.hushlogin

okay, last one for tonight I think..

it is very useful to have a MOTD file and all.. but sometimes it's a bit annoying.

Easy solution:

create a file called .hushlogin in your home directory. That simple.

'touch .hushlogin' for instance. :)

make a file...

execute logout command in the login script of choice....that's always fun...works on any system including windows registry under the run key...

haha yeah
reminds me of a time I told someone to tell someone to type something along the lines of (may be wrong what I came up wtih, but you get the idea..).

echo "`PS1= kill -9 1` >> .profile"

thus killing the account.. was pretty funny.

Once they find that, I like to add a cron job to kill the user every five minutes if they show any shells open

hahaha..

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..
