	Do not treat this as a real posting. Anyone asking for this kind of
	brute-force password breaking tool is not smart enough to be using 
	it.

	Yeah, I got a script that hacks at passwords...
	Let's see ... I'll pretend he has a personal-info database to start 
	with ... plus the time it takes the Unix login/password sequence to 
	run ... plus delays when it times out because of too many bad 
	attempts...  *** It should take about a gazillion years. 
	
	No comment for me, too ...
	Children shouldn't be alowed to play with sharp objects.

Flames to /dev/null	--		Hi Cliff  - nice book you wrote!

I speak for Joseph Judge - who happens to be the postmaster for the ATT.COM
domain - not for AT&T.
