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
