|
||
hackers who incautiously leave their terminals unlocked. The affected user
|
||
will come back to find a post from them on internal newsgroups discussing
|
||
exactly how baggy their pants are, an accepted stand-in for
|
||
“<span class="quote">unattentive user who left their work unprotected in the
|
||
clusters</span>”. A properly-done baggy pantsing is highly mocking and
|
||
humorous. It is considered bad form to post a baggy pantsing to off-campus
|
||
newsgroups or the more technical, serious groups. A particularly nice
|
||
baggy pantsing may be “<span class="quote">claimed</span>” by immediately quoting the
|
||
message in full, followed by your <a href="../S/sig-block.html"><i class="glossterm">sig block</i></a>; this
|
||
has the added benefit of keeping the embarassed victim from being able to
|
||
delete the post. Interesting baggy-pantsings have been done involving
|
||
adding commands to login scripts to repost the message every time the
|
||
unlucky user logs in; Unix boxes on the residential network, when cracked,
|
||
oftentimes have their homepages replaced (after being politely backed-up to
|
||
another file) with a baggy-pants message; .plan files are also occasionally
|
||
targeted. Usage: “<span class="quote">Prof. Greenlee fell asleep in the Solaris cluster
|
||
again; we baggy-pantsed him to <tt class="systemitem">git.cc.class.2430.flame</tt>.</span>” Compare
