I found in my home directory a strange file. I was searching for HomelyGosling’s root password to see if I had written it down in a text file on dustpuppy and found this file:
dustpuppy 737% grep "osling" *
grep: piss: Permission denied
dustpuppy 738% ls -l piss
-rw------- 1 root root 16 Jul 7 10:46 piss
dustpuppy 739% sudo cat piss
piss out my ass
dustpuppy 740% pwd
/home/imbrius
dustpuppy 741%
WTF? First of all, why do I have a file created and owned by root in my home dir called “piss” that contains the string, “piss out my ass?” Second, the command to view it is “cat piss.” I find that hilarious.
BTW, I found HomelyGosling’s root password saved in a text file on UglyDuckling. I almost hit myself when I found it because of how stupid I made it.

I blame the coffee.

That’s probably a reasonable assumption. Since I need to reinstall Solaris anyway because of a disk-naming screwup I did the last time, I don’t mind telling you that the root password I refer to above was “H0nkH0nk!”

Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with the internets.

Well…they DO honk. And give chase. Honk some more. Flap their wings. Honk even more. Continue giving chase until you get into a house and watch while they continue honking and flapping their wings trying to get in through the patio door.
They’re some damned vicious things.

It’s funny, ’cause of how the W’s look in italics, it appears as though dustpuppy is 740% peeved. In which case, you would probably want to steer clear of it.

lol. Actually it was pissed at me for quite some time but after I dropped the new hard drive in, it quit acting up.
BTW, the number before the % means that I have 740 lines in my C shell scrollback buffer. That’s supposed to reset every session but I haven’t gone digging into my profile yet to find out why it doesn’t.

I fixed it. It resets to zero now every session. I just needed to add “set savehist=0” to my .cshrc file.
