What nonsense. Mark Unseen   Mar 30 02:01 UTC 2004

Everyone knows /etc/passwd files are dangerous.

That's why gelinas was so helpfully deleting them from Grex.

But now, apparently, he's not going to do that:

#17 of 18: by Joseph L Gelinas (gelinas) on Mon, Mar 29, 2004 (20:46):
 If polytarp wants to compromise his machines' security, that is his problem.
 So long as he does not solicit others to compromise other machines.

What kind of community spirit is this?  As part of the Internet community,
Grex has an obligation to aid in the securing of not ONLY its systems, but
other people's, as well.

I don't think you understand our policy here.  You apparently expect we
have some sort of hard & fast rulebook that says "person X does Y, gets
punishment Z".  This isn't in fact true.  What we actually expect is
that people will behave as adults.  This actually works most of the
time.  For people who don't behave as adults, we have a small number of
tried & true remedies, which we usually try first, and which work about
98% of the time.  After that, it's up to the discretion of the staff
person involved.  At this point, I'd say gelinas deserves commendation
for the considerable patience he's displayed in dealing with your
antics.  He must like children, is all I can say.

If you can think of a better strategy we might use with you, we're all
ears.  Unfortunately, our budget doesn't cover sending the spanish
inquisition into your area, so you'll need to keep costs, time & effort
down.

Oh, I don't know about the Spanish inquisition.  Staci and a group of her
friends want to do a road trip when school gets out...
