Most mis dials on the phone network used to be proven to be human
not machine, despite people said they were careful & had not made mistakes.
Never underestimate human error. I've know test hosts that were
off line & someone zeroed out the root pwd while sys was under
debug/repair, to save a visiting expert needing a tmp root pwd.
(A bad habit, but its's been known). Then some time later one
discovers it is Still zeroed out ;-) ...
To err is human, to BSD is divine ;-)
Cheers,
Julian
