I'll bet dimes to doughnuts the prankster is reading these group postings, 
snickering to him or herself.  Real proud.  Probably one of those geeks 
who spend thier weekends in IRC flooding people.  Has the owner of the 
"hacked" account replied yet?

Hey, look what I can do using an ordinary text editor like vi:

total 15576
drwx------ 59 total 15576
drwx------ 59 tsutomu       5120 Feb 12 09:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root          1024 Feb  9 13:12 ..
-rw-------  1 tsutomu        148 Jun 15  1995 .Xauthority
-rw-------  1 tsutomu        690 Oct 19 09:13 .cshrc

Hell, as far as that goes, I can make it look like I hacked anyone's account:

total 15576
drwx------ 59 winniethepooh    5120 Feb 12 09:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root             1024 Feb  9 13:12 ..

drwx------  2 winniethepooh    5632 Dec 27 13:07 .netscape-cache

Man, this wild wacky world of hacking is really cool!  Maybe I'll get chicks!
Maybe I'll get a life!
