Hack is trying to create a link between a file called 'perm'
and a file called 'safelock' The key is (or at least it
has worked for me) is to make an empty file called 'perm'
in the hack directory, and to make sure that safelock
does not exist there.
happy hacking everyone, and try being an S, its fun now.
