Good to know... now I can be rox0rzing all over your systems by creating a file named /home/etcshadow/foo\n/etc/shadow.

w00t!

    No, you won't be able to.

      A fine perpetuation of ignorance.

      Perhaps if you're going to bother to post, you could actually explain why that doesn't cause any problems.

      It's rather sad to see perlmonks dwindle down to nothing more than "do this" / "no that's bad" / "no it's not" / "yes it is."

      I'll be on my way now.

        Actually, Abigail-II was just stating that s/he is not ignorant. If anyone wants to know why such a hack will not work, they could set up such an environment themselves and do some testing. I'm wondering if you know the definition of the word 'ignorance', as your use of the term in relation to Abigail-II (in this specific situation) is not valid. Unless you can prove that Abigail-II is wrong of course.

        Really? etcshadow was claiming he could create a file on my system. The only way to do that is to break in - if he can do that, problems with find are the least of my worries.
