in thread Playful Perl

Not to mention that in many corporations that type of "play" is abuse and a reason for dismissal -- so if you have any body out gunning for your job, it places you in an awkward position. Also as a system administrator, you are trusted with executive level private data many times, do you really want to be associated with pulling pranks on your machines -- how trustworthy are you representing yourself to managment?

    The fact is this is a sun box that I run in my cube that is not associated with any project ( except my own ) and I open it up to other users to learn unix, or to test software without risk. The fact is that these pranks have accelerated the education of many people. Especially of the 'youngster' and the 'old fart' mentioned in this node.
