- Fine. I'll set up the captive account with LGICMD pointing to a file in a
- directory owned by system and to which you have only execute access. So send
- yourself the command file, save it as SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN.COM, and see how much
- good it does you. You try it, and I notice it, and you'll get a lecture about
- not trying to subvert the system. Try anything like it again, and you lose
- your account.
