I had heard about this but now I have actually been infected by that dreaded Unix virus. It' very sneaky in that as soon as you figure it out it's too late. Subject: Unix Virus This virus works on the honor system: If you're running any variant of Unix or Linux, please forward this message to everyone you know, and delete a bunch of your files at random. Thank you for your cooperation.

Damn! It just wiped out my /etc/passwd file and I don't have a backup... Now I can't even log on!

Of course like all viruses this one tends to come around again...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
