I started this thread and here is where I comment again.  I see your above
example and think of one of my own.  A "script kiddy" gets ahold of a list
of usernames and passwords of a machine at fakedomain.com.  He is at the
local university and needs a shell to telnet to the machine and use the
illegally obtained login and passwords.  A machine running The HURD is
nearby...

Thanks,
