System: NetBSD oink 1.0 NetBSD 1.0 (_oink3_) #20: Mon Oct 24 17:08:55 EST 1994 dan@oink:/lfs/f/l/NetBSD/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/\
_oink3_ sparc


>Description:

The default password file shipped with netbsd includes the following
account:

falcon:*:32766:31:Prof. Steven &:/usr/games:/usr/games/wargames

Which is clearly intended to be a reference to the character of
Prof. Stephen Falken, played by John Wood in the 1983 MGM movie
release "WarGames".

>How-To-Repeat:
        repeat? why would you want to repeat such an embarrasing blunder? :-)
>Fix:
        I'd suggest correcting the spelling of both his first- and
surname prior to the 1.0 release, otherwise the NetBSD project faces
the on-going prospect of serious ridicule, scorn, and accusations of
failure to pay attention to detail. :-)
