And has a link to information about April Fool's. And is for products so old, they haven't been officially supported in two years. And for what it's worth, bad commands or not, is advice from a site that actually is about security for Win users. Jack–

The fact that there is no obvious reason to distrust this source makes this post potentially very dangerous. (It's not even dated, so a week from now, when Aprils Fools is completely forgetten, this will still be available on the Web) I suppose they'll be sniggers of laughter all around when a potential RedHat customer calls up and complains that you've completely screwed up his previously working computer. I suppose the only redeeming feature is that fact that the post contains invalid commands, of course again, to an innocent reader, who attempts to run the commands, RedHats reputation is again sullied. Nice work. How much did you get paid for that ? This strikes me as a very foolish April Fools joke.

I just tried this on my main Windows 98 system, and I can not login anymore. But I know someone is logged in because the little network light is blinking quite a bit. I want to know why all that legitimate adware I installed is able to work on my system, but I can't! I am not sure.. I just tried this on my main Windows 98 system, and I can not login anymore.

This will prevent anyone from guessing the password and compromising your system.
