No, the best way to do something like that under *nix is to uuencode

and fixed it. My point is that every single OS has backdoors, bugs,
and exploits. Its all about knowing them.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
