Who cares? Online privacy is an illusion anyway. :-) Actually, I had an
account at university, that I thought was fun to booby-trap. Many nosy
types were deterred this way.
The idea was that Solaris 2.6's ls does not filter out control codes.
So I had some files whose names included a lot of fun control codes.
Gets 'em most days.
No one should read the above as an intention to keep others out of my
home directory. Like I said, privacy is an illusion (having worked as
a system administrator for a couple of years), and I've got used to it
long ago.
