- Clue number one: the problem the person is experiencing has nothing to do
- with C2 security. They do have to do with "normal" security, and, in
- general, I prefer it.
-
- Clue number two: SCO charges for it for one of a couple of reasons. First
- is that they want to make sure it's not some random person trying to break
- into the machine. Second is that they may have to make up a floppy (or pair
- of floppies) and it costs money to do that, as well as to send it.
-
- Breaking into a PC running *nix is almost trivial if you have access to the
- machine; there's no reason to make it *easier*, in general. If the original
- poster still has his/her installation floppies, he/she can get into the
- machine very easily.
