He was the Lab Coordinator, higher position than any other student, lower only than a couple career people. I was just an ordinary bright upcoming student. Jeff and I liked to make trouble for each other, because. It was a Prime computer running Primos and each student had a space limited home directory, which gave us plenty of space to do our Pascal and Cobol work. Under normal circumstances. By the way, Jeff had root, I was just a normal student. So one day it seemed like a great idea to set my login script to send: Steve > Jeff to Jeff's screen every time I logged in. He told me to take it out. I told him, well, you know what I told him. And Jeff gave me constipation of the Home Directory: He removed my deletion rights. I reused files. I renamed files. I held out as long as I could. But eventually I had to remove my login script broadcast and come crawling to Jeff, tail between my legs, promising never to send automated messages to his screen again. The lesson I learned, as so aptly put by the philosopher Dragon FOSS, was "Don't f*ck with admins, we have root privileges.."
