- Of course, you realize that only wins if the author of the trojan
- doesn't fake login failure twice. Better to power cycle the
- terminal if it's in a public place. If you're logging in from a PC

- That's why hacking is better than cracking. One's mostly a matter
- of persistance, one's style and flair.

- ObHack: Writing a fake, application specific RPC to hack up a prototype to
- play with before our application environment gets moved to RPC.
- The hack should allow the prototypes to be moved seamlessly to the
- RPC environment.
