### Apache 1.3

  	Can I use my /etc/passwd file for Web page authentication?
  
  	Yes, you can - but it's a very bad idea. Here are some of the reasons:
   
  	[......]
  
  	If you still want to do this in light of the above disadvantages,
  	the method is left as an exercise for the reader. It'll void your
  	Apache warranty, though, and you'll lose all accumulated UNIX guru points.

### Linux Netkit/Telnet Manpage

  BUGS :  The source code is not comprehensible.

### Eggdrop

  Please, read the Readme file before attempting to set up this bot. It is NOT easy to use!
  This file is a quick setup guide, not a miracle worker. If you enter this file without 
  basic Eggdrop knowledge, you will NOT leave with a working bot! Before asking ANY questions,
  READ THE README FILE OR YOU WILL BE BURNED TO A HORRIBLE DEATH! IF YOU DO NOT READ THAT 
  FILE I WILL PERSONALLY WALK TO YOUR TERMINAL AND BEAT IT WITH A SMELLY SNEAKER!
  By the way, read the README  file.

### Logwatch 'HOW-TO customize logwatch'

  Here is a guide on how you should use the detail setting:
  
  0 (Low): Display only errors and security-related issues
  5 (Med): Display anything that a typical administator would be interested in
  10 (High): Display anything that a paranoid administrator would want to see
  
  In some cases, you can use a security setting higher than 10.  This would be
  reserved for information so trivial that it would not even interest the US 
  Government.

  are  morally and  ethically  obligated  to at least offer to buy him a beverage.
