It's probably also the most insecure Unix around, by time of shipment.
You can even open a window already on the login screen (including an
input-only window sniffing the password).  Of course, you can do it
from any machine in the Internet if you're stupid enough to put such
a machine with the default setup directly onto the Internet...

As you can see, i didn't learn to love IRIX very much.  I hope they
did it better with IRIX 6, version 5 was a plain horror story.
