AOL Kid Hacker Turnaround Zabu - Kid hacker Newf - Randomly picked AOL user. Not an AOL employee, but is a Unix system adminstrator. Story from a.s.r Zabu:Hello from America Online! I'm sorry to inform you that there has been an error in the I/O section of your account database, and this server's password information has been temporarily destroyed. We need you, the AOL user, to hit reply and type in your password. Thank you for your help. Newf:Hello! This is Server Manager #563. I'm sorry to hear that your server has lost the password info. I mean, this has been happening to much lately. Newf:We have developed some solutions to this problem. Have you got the mail sent out to all server managers? Zabu:no Newf:Really? Ouch. There's been some problems with the server mailer lately. Oh, well. Here's a solution to this problem: try connecting your backup database to your main I/O port, then accessing the system restart. Zabu:no i still need passwords Newf:I see. Do you want me to send you the list of all the passwords of all the screen names of your server? Zabu:ya i want that Newf:Let me get the server manager to send it... Newf:He says I need your server manager password. Could you please type it in? Zabu:i dont have one Newf:What do you mean?
