My argument stands firm. You just confirmed that it is not impossible, even though highly improbable.

the server room. I may be paranoid, but to think that an employee who has U.S. government level security clearance would risk their job, their liberty, and their asses to own a win98 machine, or to steal their password, or to even root one of the Linux servers, that is going a bit far. I would consider the risk if it was civilians with nothing to lose, and we didnt prosecute, but our employees know better, with the type of info that we deal with.
Why did John Walker turn over comm codes to Ivan? He passed the same background check that I did, and he wasn't a civilian at the time.

As for the insecure win98 machine, yet again, it has *NO* ports open, so how the hell is someone going to cause a buffer overflow on a machine with no open ports. TCP/IP attacks, maybe, but like I said, the only system that can communicate with the 98 box is the FTP server. Not even the proxy is allowed to communicate to the win98 machine, as they have no need for surfing the net and what-not.
So you have a Windows 98 machine whose only purprose in life is to contact a FTP server. Just out of curiosity, why isn't Win2000 an option?

RP(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual RP(4)
NAME
rp - RP-11/RP03 moving-head disk
DESCRIPTION
The files rp0 ... rp7 refer to sections of RP disk drive 0. The files rp8 ... rp15 refer to drive 1 etc. This allows a large disk to be
broken up into more manageable pieces.
The origin and size of the pseudo-disks on each drive are as follows:
disk start length
0 0 81000
1 0 5000
2 5000 2000
3 7000 74000
4-7 unassigned
Thus rp0 covers the whole drive, while rp1, rp2, rp3 can serve usefully as a root, swap, and mounted user file system respectively.
The rp files access the disk via the system's normal buffering mechanism and may be read and written without regard to physical disk
records. There is also a `raw' interface which provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A
single read or write call results in exactly one I/O operation and therefore raw I/O is considerably more efficient when many words are
transmitted. The names of the raw RP files begin with rrp and end with a number which selects the same disk section as the corresponding
rp file.
In raw I/O the buffer must begin on a word boundary.
FILES
/dev/rp?, /dev/rrp?
SEE ALSO
hp(4)
BUGS
In raw I/O read and write(2) truncate file offsets to 512-byte block boundaries, and write scribbles on the tail of incomplete blocks.
Thus, in programs that are likely to access raw devices, read, write and lseek(2) should always deal in 512-byte multiples.
