Find your System Root Passwd

John McDen — Thu, 18 Apr 2002 11:55:48 GMT

Hello friends

This command will give you the root password of your UNIX system

echo '82 43/25 43+65P80P82P73P76P32P70P79P79P76P10P' | dc

Good Luck, and have fun :-)

OK John,

I'll admit that I tried this :-)
But I'm sure I'm not the only one.........

Now if I can just convince the new guy this is an "undo" command.........

.....only to be used in the direst of situations, of course.
