It's all about what connotation you put on the word.
E.g. to make a file world read-writable you would type "chmod 666 file".
Ah, but you are talking in octal!
% perl -le 'print oct 666' 438
No evil here :)
Even though the number 666 is the number of the devil, the number itself is not evil. Just as little as the command is evil, or someone who types

Q.E.D. (my apologies for keeping such a silly thread alive)
ObTopic: I think the OP was quite within his/her rights about wanting to disable the ASCII-art da?emon, yet wishing to continue to use FreeBSD. I find it pretty silly myself.
I also note that FreeBSD understands 'tail -100 -F' and Linux (gnu fileutils?) doesn't. The devil is in the details, as it were.
A chorus of "reformat your disk and use something else you lowlife moron without a sense of humour" does little to advance the cause.
