In article <9XHRBN9B@cc.swarthmore.edu> I write:
DSA> My apologies go out to Swarthmore who some fellow from Illinois asserts I
DSA> have sleighted.

I had to open my mouth.  I went and did it again!  I have given y'all the
impression folks from Swarthmore can't spell!  Sleight means a deceitful
craftiness!  Not what I had intended, i.e., namely to humiliate discourteously.
A slight mistake, but nonetheless, embarrassing.

Anyway, in case I have not made it clear, I view bigotry -- homophobia,
sexism, racism, and all that stuff as evil.  I have a dark humor; that is what
attracted me to this board.  I am sorry if any of you found my humor banal or
moribund, as indicated in some of your responses.  Hey, if you wanted origina-
lity, you should not have looked on this board.

I apologize for seeming elitist, but most of my encounters on this board have
been with moronic, for one reason or another individuals.  Perhaps, my posts
have been equally sophomoric, but if you are going to criticize me, it would
be more convincing if you could impress me that you had a head upon your shoul-
ders.  Elitism is a pernicious creature, but it is the only prejudice I feel
halfway comfortable in indulging in.  I have been trying to cut down.  By rela-
tive standards I probably am not that bad, but one should never compare one's
self to others.

I am sorry to those I legitimately offended with my slurs.

Just in case you were wondering, I am not a major in the social sciences
or humanities and thus, don't think bad of Swat's program.  Most people at
Swat are more competent than I when it comes to originality and lucidity of
verbal communication, which perhaps accounts for the reason I am the only
Swattie you see on this board.

Vaya con vacas, Dave

     I don't know if any of you guys noticed in last months BYTE magazine,

system security.
     A few month ago we had a discussion on this group about writing trojan 
horse login programs to collect peoples UserIDs and Passwords (and someone was
so bold as to actually mask the process and really log them in!!), any way
in this article, it said (paraphrased roughly): 

          Beware, sometimes hackers will write login style programs to collect
     passwords and userIDs etc. etc.

What surprised me was that this was in the first issue after we had the discussion. I guess big brother is watching after all.

Subject: "Unforking" an SLC.
Date: 13 Oct 92 03:56:34 GMT
Organization: University of Louisiana

On Sun SLCs, under SunOS 4.1.2, if the kernel is configured to limit
the number of simultaneous processes per user, the program:

	main() {for(;;fork());}

will quickly reach the per user process limit, after which all
attempts to execute commands from csh, except built-ins, will fail
with a "Vfork error."  Apparently, using the csh "kill" built-in to
kill the forking processes does not work.

Here's one way we've found to kill off the forking processes.  It
assumes that you are able to rsh to the forked machine, and that
your login shell is csh (blech).  

First, we want to take the original fork program (called "rabbit") and
make a copy (called "dog").  But csh on the forked machine can no
longer vfork() commands, so we use the csh "exec" built-in:

$ rsh <host> exec /bin/cp rabbit dog

Then, we run the dog program:

$ rsh <host> exec dog

Now, with the single dog process running in the remote shell (on a
leash, so to speak), we use another rsh to find the process group ID
of the rabbit processes:

$ rsh <host> exec /bin/ps -jx

Knowing the process group ID, we start killing rabbits:

$ rsh <host> exec /bin/kill -9 -<PGID>

After running the kill a few times, all of the original rabbit
processes die off and are replaced by dog processes.  Finally, we send
a quit signal <CTRL/\> to the original dog rsh, all of the dogs die,
and everything is back to normal.

Ugg.

DECsystems also run TENEX, TOPS-10, TOPS-20 and ITS.

DEC's also run P/OS, RSX-11, RSTS/E, RT-11, IAS, CP/M-80, CP/M-86,

While I was at a previous job, a friend there told me about a certain
disk drive manufacture's support line that would recommend the
following things:
	1) There was a sticking problem.  Solution: Use a broom handle
	   to un stick the drive
	2) There was some sort of rattling problem.  Solution: Jam a

	Hello all. I have recently been having some fun with telnetting to
port 25 to do some fast mailing when my system is slow... I have been
wondering about someting: One is able to specify the sender of the mail, and
the reciever of the mail, as well as the originator of the message. I tried to
send myself some "forged" mail by saying the sender was someone else and the
recipient was me, however when I did this it stuck in the line "Recived from
my_site by mailing_site" this line obviously gives away the sender of the mail
message. Is there a way to bypass the creation of this line? the only way that
I know of is to telnet in to the site I want to telnet port 25 from somewhere
else. I.E. telnet to site A, and from site A, telnet 25 to site B... but there
must be a more efficient way...

ObHack: Convincing Novell Netware that it could support an ethernet card that
it SAID it couldn't support. I merely replaced the .OBJ file of a card it did
support (3Com in this case) with the .OBJ file it couldn't support (SMC), all

watch it initialize a card that you know you didn't have installed...

A few months back I attempted to write code to use the mouse as a chorded
keyboard in my message reader.  It worked ok (and was very simple to
write).  I later decided that three functions were all I needed on the
mouse, so replaced the chorded stuff with a Typematic emulator thing.  Is
pretty neat (though it seems some people who use my reader can't manage a
make-and-break in less than 1/8 sec, and the repeat really pisses them off)

Anyway.  Anyone have any ideas for using both chords and typematic effectivly?
It's very awkward the way I did it.

ObHack - writing a TSR in dos to mimic the functions of my mouse in
abovementioned hack while in 'normal' apps.  The program will map each mouse
button to any desired key.  Kinda fun to play with (very fun to install on an
associate's computer and borrow their mouse while they're typing.  Much like
moving the Jstick on a C64 while someone's trying to write something :-)
Was really small memory-wise too.  Bummer I hadta write it in assembler.

Considering that BYTE probably has a very long lead time to press,
I doubt any discussion here was material in their choice. These
things are pretty commonly known. Technical magazines probably try to
keep their lead time to press down, but I remember reading in MacUser
(which does all their layout &c electronically) that their lttp was
a few months.

ObHack: (not seeing enough of these lately)

So my Mac has a Quantum 80 megabyte hard disk. This vintage of drive
is apparently prone to stiction problems. Well, this particular disk
started failing to boot sometime this summer, at first sporadically,
and then reliably. (For some definition of "reliable".)  Guessing the
problem to be stiction, my immediate solution was to pull out the
disk, shake it vigorously (I recommend loud music in the background
for this), and put it back in. This has so far proven quite adequate.
When I moved back to school at the end of the summer, the problem
eased up considerably - possibly due to humidity change.  I haven't
had to pull the back off my Mac for a few weeks. Eventually I'll do
the backup/replace/restore thing. (Hey, no hack too small!)

Incidentally, bass amps weigh a lot. Ugh.
