[buug] rlogin

[Bob Read]

Ouch!
Joking!
This book, @Large, is the true story of a kid (aka
InfoMaster aka Phantom Dialer) who holds some records
for cracking.  Basically, it's a treatise on "Thou
shalt not use r*":

Yah, it's old (1998 or so I think), but I'll be damned
if it doesn't still apply to "modern" computing, given
that Allen probably doesn't know WHY we're all
cringing when he mentions rlogin.
