5/1 waner, cut the binary shit out.
\_ waner is smushing the motd with binaries? waner the good
stalker christian? no way!
\_ what binary was he using? I ran strings on it the first time
but I couldn't really see.
\_ how did you figure it out? -waner
\_ I propose waner's account be suspended.
\_ second that. tell us how did you figure this out. by
knowing who did the last motd destruction/censoring, may be
we could stop motd censoring altogether.
\_ If you squish tom you'll end most motd censorship.
\_ Maybe keep one window tracking changes, and another tracking
people's idle or last login. This would only work for hosings
in the middle of the night.
\_ there is no middle of the night. people post from all
time zones.
\_ Some time zones are more active than others. There is
a middle of the night for a machine where most of the
users are in California.
\_ I'm going to measure activity as a function of time
over a few 24 hour periods and see if you're right.
i'll get back to you on this.
\_ I haven't measured it scientifically but I know
motd activity is primarily M-F/8-6. I'd like to
see what you measure and what the numbers look
like when you're done.
\_ i log fstat and diff on motd.public. it's usually not hard to
figure out who's modifying the file with what, particularly if
the person does it repeatedly.
\_ except that some (many?) editors don't keep a file open while
they're editing. so the window during which they have the
file open (i.e., reading or writing) is rather small.
\_ he's a stalker too? do tell.
\_ There was a world-readable text file in his home directory which
in obsessive detail chronicled his every interaction with this
particular girl over the past year or two. Someone posted the
filename to the motd. Then everyone was creeped out, then waner
made the file non-readable.
\_ It was a great file. I've never had such a deep look into the
mind of a psychotic/stalker before. Did anyone figure out who
the girl is and warn her?
\_ maybe if anyone knows felicia, presumably ex-cal student,
religious, looks like the righthand chick in
