This brings me back to my university days, when we were logged off from our UNIX
accounts for having excedded our disk-quota. When that happended, the sysadmins
only changed our login shell to something called /usr/local/bin/quotaexceded which
it was only a tiny shell script that echoes a warning about speaking to the
sysadmin to have the account re-enabled.

When it happened to me, I realize that I still could gain access to my account
using FTP (for backing up my stuff and lowering the quota). So... why not
putting something interesting in my .forward?

|/bin/chsh myaccount /bin/sh

After then, I only had to ask a friend to send me any kind of e-mail and voila!
