- You made one big mistake in your assumption Ward. If he knows how to get onto
- the net then he is obviously computer literate. Which means he can use the
- on-line documentation to find out how to change the root password, or go down
- to the local bookstore and buy a next network/sysadmin book, so it doesn't
- really matter if the net talks about it.
