        cp -p /vmunix /dev/audioctl
under SunOS 4.1.3? panic, dump and reboot.

Then you will have to login and leave a nice entry in the log.  It is
"better" to
        rcp /etc/motd you () some host:/dev/audio
Panic, dump and reboot.  And noone know it was you.

Oh?

This is pretty suspicious when it's the very last entry before a crash.
I'd much rather have a login entry back a ways in the logs, nicely
buried among lots of other logins.

tcp-wrappers and pidentd are your sysadmin's friend. :-)
