> troll! > Nonetheless, it reminds me of a little project that would be a fun vacation -- do a global grep of the source and man pages for "daemon" and replace each occurence with such things as "cherub", "seraph", and the like. I think someone started in on something like this once, but I haven't heard anything about it for several years. The thought brings up some interesting ideas, however: Would it help clarify the structure of the system to sub-classify daemons? Would the use of metaphors borrowed from the "good" side of Christian literature raise cries of blasphemy? Etc. And, of course, has anybody ever written up a good explanation of the reason that pointing to world read-write permissions as the mark of the beast tends to point less at *NIX than at the dominant desktop OS? ;-) (I need to get back to work, now, ...) -- Joel Rees <joel@alpsgiken.gr.jp>
