[TriLUG] Security is important (slightly OT)

[Jeremy P]

From: =brian <surfcow at hawaii.rr.com>   and rec.humor.funny newsgroup

Them: Important user, NT box, lost admin password, sad, sad, sad.

Me: No problem, change password with magic linux disk, offline NT password 
editor.

Them: No, no, no. Never work. NT secure. Get real.

Me: Watch. (reboot)

Them: Gasp! This floppy is dangerous! Where did you get it?

Me: Internet. Been around forever.

Them: How do we keep students from using this?

Me: Can't. Migrate. Linux. Mac.

Them: No, no, no. Just make NT safe.

Me: Can't. NT inherently unsafe.

Them: Must be safe. NT good. We have never seen problems.

Me: You just saw one now.

Them: No, no, no. NT good. Win2k better.

Me: Win2k is NT. Same thing. Should I give this floppy to a student?

Them: No, no, no. Give here.

Me: Whatever. What do you want me to do?

Them: Change admin password.

Me: Fine. To what?

Them: "p-a-s-s-w-o-r-d"

Me: No, no, no.
