It's not me, it's another guy. I was just chiming in which maybe was a
bad idea...
But still, I find it difficult to believe how quickly people assume
the box is rooted just because a user account was compromised. Is it
really that easy to get root on NetBSD? Or is it just simply unknown
how many compromises there are?
